About Dax studio 3.0.8
DAX Studio is a great external tool to write, execute and analyze DAX queries in Power BI. A user now has the ability to not only analyze data using DAX but also export data from the Power BI report to SQL tables and CSV files. In this tutorial, we will be learning how to export data from the Power BI report to the SQL server to perform analysis using SQL. This feature is great to use when we have the PBI report but we can’t access the data source directly in SSMS to perform analysis on the data. Follow the instructions to export data from the Power BI report to SQL server to perform analysis using SQL I. Download DAX Studio version 2.13 To begin with the process, you first need to have the latest version of DAX studio as this feature is not available in the older versions. Open PBIX file II. In order to connect DAX studio to Power BI, open your Power BI file. III. Connect DAX Studio with PBI Report Now open DAX Studio and in Data Source settings select PBI/SSDT Model option. In the dropdown menu, you‘ll be able to see the report you opened in the previous step. Select the desired report from the dropdown. Connect to the report. IV. Exporting Data to SSMS To Analyse Data Using SQL From the main stage, navigate to the toolbar and select the Advanced menu. Select Export Data option. In Export Data Wizard, select SQL Tables. V.

Preparing the Power BI reportEvery page in a Power BI report usually creates one or more DAX queries to populate its visuals. . When you switch to a different page, new queries might be sent to the engine. Moreover, changing the selection of a slicer also generates new queries. However, Power BI also uses a cache system to avoid sending the same DAX query multiple times. Therefore, it is useful to make sure that the cache is empty in order to capture all the queries generated for a single page of a report.For example, consider the following report that is made up of a single page.When the report is opened, the DAX queries are immediately generated and sent to the engine. There is not enough time to open DAX Studio and activate the trace to capture all the DAX queries: some of these queries will already be executed.To avoid this problem and to make sure that all the queries can be captured in DAX Studio, the Power BI file should contain an empty page. Thus, you should create a new empty page and save the PBIX file ensuring that it is the current active page of the report.This way, the next time you open the PBIX file, the empty page will be displayed and no queries will be sent to the engine until you click on another page.Once the file is ready, close Power BI Desktop. Then, reopen Power BI Desktop and open the file that you prepared in the previous step. The empty page should appear in the report. The next step involves connecting to Power BI from DAX Studio.Connecting DAX Studio to Power BI to capture queriesKeeping Power BI Desktop open with the empty page selected, open DAX Studio and select the PBI / SSDT Model that is open.Click on the All Queries button in the Traces section of the ribbon.Make sure that you see the message, “Query Trace Started” in the Output pane.Switch to the All Queries result pane. There should be an empty list at this time. You can see that the Start button is not an available option, indicating that the trace is already running.DAX Studio is now ready to capture all the DAX queries generated by Power BI reports.Capturing DAX queries from the active page of your reportKeeping DAX Studio open, switch to the Power BI Desktop window and select the page of the report that displays the data.This simple report generates many queries, which are captured and displayed in the All Queries pane in DAX Studio.The Duration column measures the time spent resolving each query, in milliseconds. If there is a significant discrepancy between the sum of all DAX queries durations and the
