Port Number in Local PBI

Is the port number/ server name visible in the local pbi.

I knew it was visible in Properties for Semantic Model.

Is it still the case?

  • Are you asking about the port number and server name of your data source are you asking specifically about the port number for the pbix file?    If it is for the file there is not a fixed port number. However, Power BI Desktop dynamically assigns a random port for its internal Analysis Services instance.

    Easiest way to get it for the file is with DAX Studio.  In the connect window select PBI/SSAS and then you will see the server name with port (localhost:xxxxx)
