    Be able to read environment variables from the current machine (Power BI Desktop) either through a dedicated data source, or a built-in function that is equivalent to environ () in VBA or getenv () in java.

    RE: Function to access environment variables

    Hello,

    It would be nice to have access to some environment info. For example I have a situation where I don't have access directly to data source and I need to know if the report is published or in "desktop" to change a data source automatically.

    Kind Regards,
    Lucian
