Find unused data sources and/or colums in your report

Hello everyone,

 

is there an easy way to find all used/unused data sources within a power bi report?

 

I have here a big report which is grown over the time and reworked by more than 2 colleagues. A lot of testing and changing have left data sources without use. It is time consuming go trough every meassure and vissual to check if there is some use of source xy. Is there a smart way? 🙂

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Norman

Hello @Pfandgiraffe ,

 

you can use measure killer by @Brunner_BI , he can assist also with any question you have for this tool.

 

for me I use it sometimes and it's a real help when cleaning the model.
