Suggestion : Enable users to easily Identify Unused Tables in *Visuals* and *Slicers*

[274188A]

The title says it all.  Just checking for zero relationships is not enough to catch other visual elements like slicers etc.  Such a time consuming boring task I'm sure this could be a great enhancement if deleivered.

Hi @274188A  ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. 

Identifying unused tables in Power BI isn't as straightforward as checking for zero relationships. Tables can still be actively used in visuals, slicers, filters, tooltips, or indirectly through measures and calculated columns.

Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our Fabric Ideas - Microsoft Fabric Community  Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

Hi @274188A, You can do this using external tool Measure killer, it will analyze complete report and semantic model and identify unused column, measures, tables etc.
