I want to return metadata like the power query dataflow name so if the name changes the metadata will reflect the updated name.
What I'm thinking is a number of system variables that can be queried in the dataflow:
Something like
_.dataflow.Name - this is the name of the dataflow that is indicated in the title
_.dataflow.TableName
_.dataflow.WorkspaceName
The only way to read metadata about dataflows is using the REST API. See Dataflows - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn
Some of what you want is there, but not everything directly. The Get Dataflow command though will export the entire dataflow definition to a JSON file, and that will have table names, column names, even column data types. You will just need to parse out the JSON file.
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling
