Automating Power BI Documentation with DAX Info Functions

Documenting Power BI models is often seen as boring and time-consuming. In this session, you’ll learn how the latest DAX Info functions can make model documentation much easier and fully automated. We’ll show how to extract metadata about tables, measures, relationships, and partitions directly from Power BI—without relying on external tools or IT approvals.

Through practical examples, you’ll see how Info and Info.View functions can be used to build structured model documentation. We’ll also look at how to combine and enrich this information using techniques like NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN, and how to automate the entire process with Power Automate for ongoing, up-to-date documentation.
