Hi Power BI Community!
Is there a software/app or something in Power BI where I can find the unused measure/columns?
I just have too many created at some point which are now unused and to find all of them manually would be a pain...
Thankx for your time.

Hi @Anonymous ,
You can create a list of this measures in DAX Studio to have a list of them, and use for retrieval.
This is the link to download and use Dax Studio:
