Microsoft Power BI is a business intelligence tool that connects data and create reports and dashboards. You can run connection-aware scans on Microsoft Power BI sources.
Objects extracted
The Microsoft Power BI catalog source extracts metadata from the following assets in a Microsoft Power BI source system:
•Report
You can't get column-level information for reports.
Note: You can also extract metadata from reports generated by Power Query custom functions and DAX functions.
•Workspace
•Dashboard
•Datamart
•Data Set (Semantic Model)
•Tile
•Field
•PaginatedReportDataset
•Dataflow

Note: Effective in the November 2024 release, when you rerun a Microsoft Power BI catalog source, Metadata Command Center triggers a pre-processing job. The pre-processing job upgrades the existing catalog source content to include dataset tables.
