Extract DAX measures from a .pbix file
Want to know how a Power BI report calculates its numbers? PBIX Reader lists every DAX measure in the file, with its formula, right in your browser.
How to see the measures of a .pbix
- Open PBIX Reader and choose your .pbix file (up to 50 MB).
- Go to the Formulas tab. Each measure appears with its name, table, display folder, description and DAX expression.
- Use the search box to filter by name, table or part of the formula, then select and copy the text you need.
The same tab also shows the Power Query (M) code of each table. Everything is read-only: PBIX Reader reads the file, it does not edit it.
Your .pbix file is read in your browser and is not sent to any server. No cookies, no third-party analytics; only an anonymous notice with no content counts opened files.
