It can be unwieldy to manage measures and columns, especially when custom measures and columns are built on top of other measures and columns. It would be helpful to have a [Where Used] option to provide a list of visuals and/or columns/measures where a particular column is used. That way you can delete unneeded measures/columns without worrying about breaking everything.

Using the Power BI API for a reports.Get() method, it shows *SOME* information on each report. If they just added in more metadata to the API to show which tables/measures/columns/etc were being used in that report, automation could be done to find specific reports using a particular table. Please add this!

"Trace Precedents" and "Trace Dependents" have been standard, native Excel tools to determine what cell(s) effect(s) or is/are being effected by the currently selected cell. PBI should have a column/field level functionality of the same variety. This is basic.

This feature would be a huge help in all versions of desktop (Report Server and Service optimized). Came here from: Solved: How to find where a column is used? - Microsoft Power BI CommunityThe solutions are all external tools:VertiPaq Analyzer Power BI Helper but had the most success with:Power BI Cleaner Gen2 The BIccountant

How many votes does an idea need ? In the past with Uservoice for Configurationmanager for example, many idea's has been started as investigation with more then half the votes this one has for example.anyway, this is a very welcome feature to optimize the to be published reports without breaking potential relations in larger models.
