List where a column or measure is used in a report

[Dave_Gugg]

It can be unwieldy to manage measures and columns, especially when custom measures and columns are built on top of other measures and columns. It would be helpful to have a [Where Used] option to provide a list of visuals and/or columns/measures where a particular column is used. That way you can delete unneeded measures/columns without worrying about breaking everything.

Please fix it, really needed how to find where measures are used "pages"

Please provide the ability to see where measures are used across a workspace. Please make sure this feature DOES NOT require Administrator role to execute.

Even if they had a hide unused fields like Tableau that would be a helpful start.

Any improvement which contributes to closing this transparency/lineage gap would be very much appreciated, PBI Team!

I'm surprised PowerBI doesn't have this feature, it seems like a fairly basic requirement. I have voted for it. 🙂

[m_mahmud]

A highly needed feature!

[marcel_tenbroek]

How many votes does an idea need ? In the past with Uservoice for Configurationmanager for example, many idea's has been started as investigation with more then half the votes this one has for example.

anyway, this is a very welcome feature to optimize the to be published reports without breaking potential relations in larger models.

This feature would be a huge help in all versions of desktop (Report Server and Service optimized).
