Show fields used in selected visual

When you click a visual in Power BI Desktop, it would be really useful to have an option to show only the fields/measures used by that visual in the Fields pane.

 

At the moment, even with a visual selected, the Fields pane still shows the entire semantic model. In larger models (or when working with shared datasets), it’s hard to quickly see:

  • which tables are involved
  • which columns or measures the visual is actually using

 

I’d love a simple toggle in the Fields pane, something like:

  • Show all fields
  • Show fields used by selected visual

 

 

This would make it much easier to:

  • understand existing reports
  • work with inherited/shared models
  • debug or refactor visuals
  • onboard onto someone else’s report

 

Feels like a small UX change that would save a lot of time day to day.
