Locate a specific query string across multiple reports
This a long-shot! I have a couple of hundred Power BI files, most of which are pulling data from a single PostgreSQL database. Is there any cunning way (a script, I guess) to determine which pbix files pull a specific column name from this database. For example, my currency table in the SQL database has a column labelled 'iso' and I'd like to be able to establish which pbix reports in a certain folder are querying 'currency.iso' (or the likely alias).
Any ideas gratefully received!
Thanks
