It is good practice to keep track of all the formulas you write in a PowerPivot Data Model. I suppose you’d even be required to document the formulas at work, for the audit trail. I was working on a rather large data model, and was manually copy-pasting each and every DAX formula into an Excel sheet; and updated the sheet every time I tweaked a formula. It was frankly a very annoying necessity, and I wanted to remedy the situation. Microsoft introduced the Model Object in Excel 2013, allowing users to access and control PowerPivot using VBA, but there is no straightforward means to programmatically access the Excel 2010 add-in. In this post, I describe a quick way to list all the DAX formulas in your PowerPivot for Excel 2010 Data model.
