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.

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.
