Would be nice to have an options like Excel has in formula auditing section, especially trance dependents
Why this change can be useful :
Currently we are not able to find information which cards, charts or etc. are linked to the specific measure, the only why to find this is to check from cards to measure.
Problem is, when we will find linked measure, we still have no information regarding another links with other cards or charts and if there will be need to delete some measures to clean up our fields, its hard to identify quickly which measures will have impact on our reports

RE: Trace Dependents in Power BI desktop
Yes, a tree like view of formulas and dependencies would help a ton.

It would be good if we can trace whether any tables in the relationships view are redundant. If you have a right-click trace dependents on a table to see whether anything is dependent on it and vice versa.

Indeed a very useful feature!
Would like to add calculated columns to this thread as well. On complex models with many different pages, it is very hard and time consuming to find all dependencies.
