To perform an impact analysis of table or column changes in Power BI reports:
Use the Power BI Dependency View: This built-in feature shows relationships between tables, queries, and reports, helping you identify impacted visuals.
Check All Queries: Review all Power Query steps where affected tables/columns are used. Renaming will require adjustments in the queries.
Update DAX Measures: Any DAX formulas referencing the renamed or deleted columns/tables will need to be updated.
Search for References: Use a Power BI tool (like DAX Studio or external tools) to search for direct references to tables/columns and update them accordingly.
Validate Reports: After updates, manually check reports for any errors or missing data.
