Some report models can be quite large with both extensive native columns from PQ, as well as DAX measures. These are difficult to sort through for the self-service-BI end-users, even though some text descriptions can be added to each variable visible on hover. Additionally there is no way to document DAX measures suitable for enterprise governance.


I suggest a function that extracts a table of the report's column names, types, first x unique values, pop-up notes, and (for DAX measures) the actual code.


Perhaps this can be an option in Service on the dataset "..." menu similar to "Auto Create Report," but it makes a report with the above.
