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.

Yes, Please consider adding this, fast models with not unused columns are essential to performance, which in turn translates to a good user experience. A good user experience ultimately effect Microsoft bottom line, seems like a no brainer :).
RE: List where a column or measure is used in a report
This is so important, I spend so much time trying to optimize models, and to do this, locating fields not being used is so very important, I would say this is my top 1 feature request.
