2 years ago Major update to the Power BI Model documenter!
New version released with an entirely rebuild backend! Shout out to @tonswart for his help in rebuilding!
New in Model Documenter v2.0.0 is:
- Easy next-next-finish installer to put the files in the right location on the computer.
- New and enhanced backend of the tool, which is not relying on DMVs nor PowerShell anymore.
- Ground-up rebuild model documentation Power BI Template file, to present all information in a report.
- Live connected Analysis Services models are read by the Model Documenter.
- (Live connected datasets or Premium XMLA endpoints not yet)
- No longer pop-up windows to allow native query execution.
- No more failing loads due to privacy levels (though, ignoring privacy levels improves Model Documenter run time).
- Deprecation of the Excel model documenter report. Going forward, only Power BI report will be supported.
Added command line program to export the power bi model as an vpax file. The exported vpax file i used in the power bi document model report.
All this can be started using the power bi external program feature.
