    Hi 274188A,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

     

    Currently, there’s no automated way to detect if a table is used in visuals, slicers, or filters tools like Tabular Editor only check the data model, not the report layer. So the only reliable method is to manually check all visuals and filters.

    Thank you.
