Identify used columns with user personalization visual
I am trying to find out what columns are used with user personalization.
Most of the software or 3rd party apps I found is only identify the used columns in the report and not what is the columns used with personalization with users.
Does any one know a way to identify those columns?

This would be a nice feature even using a 3rd party app to get rid of columns that is not totally used especially with hundreds of users and we can't figure out what really is not being used. It is hard to prove that they don't use it and remove the columns. Users saying they using it but we don't have visibility they they really used it. It is just consuming space in the model especially with the table that has billions of rows.
Well, what you are saying now is different. A column(field) that is not used or visited in a visual by the end user doesn't mean that the column is not necessary in the semantic model. Though to identify unnecessary columns in a semantic model you can use Tabular Editor or even better Bravo https://bravo.bi/
