Posted on by bkumar 46

I want to connect PowerBI and pull DDL information like I can do with SQL server by using below query as an example

 

"select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME='tableName'"

 

Is there a way to even put in excel, currently its not even possible to copy from page columns in the web editor

    Hi @bkumar,

     

    I'd suggest having a look at the Sql4cds plugin for the XrmToolBox (it's even available as a standalone plugin for SSMS). It allows you to query the metadata, which includes columns, relationships, global choices, etc.

    Dear @ChrisPiasecki ,

     

    Thanks but in my organization no third party addins are alowed, to get them we have to go through lots of processes which might take 6 months. So This solution is not applicable in case.


    I was looking for some inbuilt functionality based solution approach

    Regards,
