Source information with DMV or INFO.DAX function

I am using a dataflow Gen2 to write back metadata about my PowerBI dataset. To make a complete view of my data lineage I would like to extract the sources of my partitions. I have used the TMSCHEMA_Partitions DMV function to retrieve this information (the same result can be achieve by using the INFO.Partitions DAX function). 

For tables/partitions that I did not alter in PowerQuery I can find the source table, but for others only the last step of the PowerQuery definition is shown. See below

Does anyone know a method on how to retrieve the source information of my partitions/tables in my PowerBI dataset? Thank you!

Great, it would be even better if I could get the source fields for every column of my dataset

Hi @Lorili ,

We have a response from internal team - 
The ‘QueryDefinition’ shows you the M query and the source behind the partitions created using Power Query. For non-power query sources you can match the DataSourceID in INFO.PARTITIONS() with the ID from INFO.DATASOURCES(). "

Hope this is helpful. Please let me know incase of further queries.

Hi!

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, this is not completely the solution I am looking for, as I will not be able to build a data lineage back to my Azure SQL DB. Any suggestions on this?
