Download all the universe metadata into excel file

Hi Everyone,

I have a universe in IDT(BO 4) with unx extension. There used to be a macro in excel which would automatically jot down the details for the universe, eg. classes and objects, descriptions, contexts, tables, joins etc.

Has anyone come across that utility to document a universe in BO 4?

The requirement is to be able to download all the universe metadata into excel file, currently IDT allows me to document as a MS Word file but not an excel file, I need that in excel file so that I can keep track of things like object descriptions easily.

I could copy paste from word to excel but thats time consuming…

Experts suggest me some solutions plzzzz

Thanks & Regards,
AFAF :mrgreen:
