How to find all visuals created by a data source

Hi Team,

 

I have a pbix file with multiple data sources and multiple visuals created using these data sources. As part of optimizing the report, I need to remove few visuals/data sources which are not being used for long time. I am looking an option to identify all visuals created using each data source in pbix. When i select a data source from right side in pbix, I need to know how many visuals have been created by using the selected data source? Is there any way to identify the same? It would be very good if we have some option here.

 

Thanks,

Shailesh

there isn't a built-in feature that allows you to directly identify all visuals created using a specific data source from the right side pane. if you are not using too many visuals you can manualy review each visual. you can use pause visuals from optimise option to speed up the process.
