How to create a DAX measure that extracts Information from the metadata of Tabular model in SSAS or Power BI.?

I have just started learning the SQL Server and Power BI. I'm working on a project and for that i need to create a Measure for the Power BI report that will dynamically extracts the information about all the tables (like Table Name, Last Updated, Dependencies, etc) used in the Tabular solution.

I couldn't find any satisfactory answer anywhere. Is there anyone here who could help?

If you are using an SSAS tabular data model or multi-dimensional cube, you can use DMVs to extract meta data to report on or analyze.

This ARTICLE includes a great walk through and a power bi template you can use to report on metadata.

Hope it helps!!

DAX isn't going to do this for you. However, there are 3rd party tools like Power BI Helper that will allow you to extract model details.
