I have reports with close to 100 measures. Sometimes reports get so complex that I forget to delete an unused measure. Please add a toggle that highlights any unused measures in a pbix file. Something similar to the yellow highlight on everything used in a visual.

RE: Unused Measures

I'm in chock that this isn't already a thing in Power BI. I would be nice if the developers would focus on these things instead of the ribbon.

RE: Unused Measures

Totally agree with this and other suggestions for managing measures, identifying dependencies and so forth. I create a lot of interim and/or 'experimental' measures during report development and it would be nice to quickly identify the measures I end up not using when I'm ready to share my final reports

RE: Unused Measures

Great and important idea. can make the report much more efficient.

also, if possible, to mark unused column also (can be later manually deleted from the module in order to improve the report process result )
