    Hi, I'm sorry but there is no way to check what fields is the report using. You can create a list of this measures in DAX Studio to have a list of them, but just for checking.

    If you want to delete unused fields, you have to go one by one.

     

    Next time be sure to add a comment in DAX code to let any user know if that was for developing purpose and be carefull to keep to many trash.

     

    Regards, hoping you won't having a hard time.

    ibarrauYes 6 years later and it is still a good idea. A multibillion dollar company and none of its devs actually use their products for work.
