Hi @Anonymous ,

It is not supported to implement your demand in Power BI currently .There is an idea about this issue, please vote it up, import column description, to improve the Power BI.

It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

We also submitted this feedback to the product group internally, so that the product group can pay attention to this problem and speed up the issue repairing.

Best Regards,

Amy

Export object properties to a file
For some workflows, it may be useful to edit multiple object properties in bulk using Excel. Use the following snippet to export a standard set of properties to a .TSV file, which can then be subsequently imported
