We need a dependency viewer which can show, for any given attribute in any given any entity, if that attribute is used in segments, measures, relationships, activities, etc.
This will help users to change the schema of the data sources, by allowing them to first assess the impact of such change. It would also allow users to plan for such change so that it is made only after all dependencies are resolved properly
Note: A dependency viewer which only shows dependencies at entity level would not satisfy this requirement.
I agree with this. I am currently working to move from PowerQuery data sources to Delta and it is really hard to know what is dependent on a specific data source and table. To make it easier, I would suggest that a table can be be selected and then all downstream dependencies in several levels are shown.
