Dependent formula/calculation

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?

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?

@dfox09 

 

Paid version has some additional features, mostly for enterprise. 

you can perform almost most of the task with tabular editor 2
