Show data (tables and fields) used in report

Hello,

 

I have a report with a large data-model behind it and I know that I don't use all tables and I don't use all fields within the tables I actually use.

Because there's a performance issue I'd like to remove the unused tables and remove the unused fields within the tables I used.

 

Is there any way to track what tables are used in the report and furthermore what fields are being used?

 

Thank you 🙂
