How to Recover a dataset if I don't have the original copy

[liup2]

One consultant developed a dataset and published it to the server, set it to incremental load.

Now he left the company and we don't have the local copy of the dataset. since it's incremental load on server and we couldn't 

download it. in this case how can we re-generate that dataset on desktop? We need to see some detailed information in the dataset.

Hey @liup2 ,

use ALM-toolkit to connect to the dataset using the underlying XMLA-endpoint (get address from the workspace settings): Home Page - ALM Toolkit (alm-toolkit.com)

Then it should be straightforward to merge the metadata into an empty pbix file.

Hopefully, this will help to tackle your challenge, I will keep my fingers crossed.

Tom
