Getting Data from Power BI Model!

Power BI Power BI Updates

Hi everyone,

I have come across a way to extract all data behind the power bi model. Sometimes, it is necessary to get data from the model view and we can easily get ALL model data using DaxStudio in just couple of clicks. We can put this in csv files or SQL server directly. Below is the procedure:

Open and connect DAX studio to the model—> then go to Advanced–>Export Data

Select folder and table you want to import and it is super fast :slight_smile:

Kind Regards,
Hafiz

@hafizsultan,

Great tip. I’ve been using that feature in DAX Studio for a while, and find it enormously useful. However, just recently a similar free tool came out from Data Vizioner called Power BI Exporter that has earned a place on my External Tools menu, due to a few advantages:

  • It’s truly one click – no program to go into
  • Creates a zip file containing CSVs for every table in your model
  • it also automatically creates three metadata files, listing all of your columns, tables and relationships and includes them in the zip
