You could download the shared dataset as a .rsd file and open it in either Visual Studio or just open it in a notepad.

Hi @db042190 ,

You can see it in power bi report builder:

In the Report Data pane, expand the Datasets folder, and then double-click on the dataset you wish to examine. This action opens the Dataset Properties dialog box.
