PowerBI Helper Alternative?

Good morning.  Is there a newer tool that is recommended for helping to find measures or tables that are not being used in a dashboard?  My company will not allow us to use Power BI Helper because it has not been updated since 2021.

I am inheriting many pre-built dashboards, which are very large with hundreds of measures and many visuals.  I can't review all of these to see what is used or not; that is why I am looking for a tool that will help me.

Are there any recommended tools?

 

Thanks

    Measures have no cost until they are being used by your report users.  These tools cannot help you with that part.  You need to use the Capacity Metrics App to identify poorly performing queries and then find out which measures participate in them.

     

    Anyway, have a look at Measure Killer | Brunner BI  (no endorsement)
