List or report on Power BI Dataflow Meta Data like Dataflow- Names, Properties, Descriptions, Source
For documentation, controlling and to publish for non Members of the Workspace I would like to report in PowerBI on the Meta Data linked to a Workspaces Data Flows.
I would like to create a report on Power BI Dataflow Meta Data like Properties, Settings, Refresh- Creation- Change-dates/history Data Sources etc. Does anyone know how to link to the PowerBi Workspace/Dataflow meta data?
e.g.
- Dataflow-
- Name,
- Descriptions,
- Gateway Connections (Gateway/Department/Contact/Status/Sources
- Data Source Credentials Status
- Refresch Schedule (frequency/time Zone/Times/Notification)
- Endorsement
- Dataflow-Entitiy-
- Name
- Description
- Fields (field Names / Data Type)
- Incremental Refresh Settings (all fields)
- ML Model
- Dataflow-Entitiy-Query
- Name
- Description
- Source
- Credential Status
Hi FFFritz ,
Maybe you could try to connect to the dataflow in Power BI Desktop and then zip the pbix file to get metadata of it.
- connect to your dataflow in Power BI
- Rename the pbix file to *.zip file
- Open the file of Metadata
You could reference the blog to learn more details. Hope this can help you.
