I have 3 .pbix files that consume live from a SSAS cube.
The .bim cube has thousands of measures (most of them not used at all).
My goal is to delete the unused measures in the .bim (without breaking any visual in the .pbix).
Is there a way of opening the 3 .pbix and extracting all the measures/columns used? (or a way of seeing in the .bim which measures are unused?
Ps: each .pbix has 15 pages, so its hard to do it manually.
Solved! Go to Solution.
