Greetings  

Could you please elaborate?

A few useful tool:

• DAX STUDIO – This will allow you to write code, see code executions, export results, etc. 
• Power Pivot Utilities – This is an excel-addin that will detail all DAX code within your model and export it into an excel table

 
Thanks!
William

I believe what Pavan is saying is he wants to extract all the DAX from the measures he’s created in Power BI, in bulk.  This is definitely something I’ve wanted to do before, as opening each and grabbing the formula is a pain.  And if for some reason you need to remove the table they are built in, you lose the measures unless you move them one-by-one.

I just tried the DAX studio you suggested and it looks like that’s a great solution, thanks, William!

You can run the DMV view against the database as well:

select * from $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASURES

Greetings:

I tried @Aaron Gernhardt’s suggestion, and it worked brilliantly!

What I did: 

• Open DAXSTUDIO
• Connect my Model
• run the code: ” Select * From $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_MEASURES”

The results are every measure in your model – detailing each expression command! (i.e., the DAX code per measure). 

This is very cool!

The benefit of utilizing DAX Studio is that you can export your results to excel (as well as a text file, etc. ) so that one can easily see all the data in one table. 

Glad to be apart of this discussion.

Thanks!
William

Can this tool be leveraged to download the DAX formulas in the Calculated columns as well?

For some more advanced analysis from the same guys check out this tool: vertipaq analyzer.

Lot’s of good stuff in there. Not only gives you all your measures and calculated column dax formulas but makes it easy to identify inefficiencies in your model.

To retrieve your calculated columns in DAX Studio:

Connect to your SSAS or Power BI instance and run the following statement:

select * from $SYSTEM.TMSCHEMA_COLUMNS

Look in the Expression column to retrieve your Calculated Columns
