Table List and Field List

[AnthonyTilley]

Does anyone know a way to export a list of each table and its fields along with meta data such as data type etc from the power BI model.

I have a large data model with some 40 tables and hundreds of fields including a lot of calcualted colunms and measures. i would like to eport a list of all of the fields so that i can begin working a data dictionary. im looking for the best way to extract this infomration

alternativly is there any tool that i can connect directly to the data model in power bi and build a data dictionary.

DAX Studio.  You can use the DMV's like

 $SYSTEM.DBSCHEMA_COLUMNS

to get this type of info.

You can use SQL Server also (you can get the server name from DAX studio - to connect)
