Dependent formula/calculation

dfox09 — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 15:08:32 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a way to determine if a calculated column is being depended upon by another column? In Excel there is a way to determine if a formula is dependent upon another formula or is depended upon by another formula.

In Excel, one can either "Trace Dependents" or "Trace Precedents".

Does Power BI have a similar way?

You can use Tabular Editor to check dependencies :

Thank you for your suggestion. Quick question - I used the Shareware version on Github and it worked. What is the main difference between the shareware version and the paid version?
