Columns not used anywhere
"Columns not used anywhere" is one of the performance checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n column(s) are not referenced by any measure, calculated column, relationship, hierarchy, sort order, RLS filter or report visual. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Remove them in Power Query (Choose columns) or hide them if they are kept for future use.
What is detected
n column(s) are not referenced by any measure, calculated column, relationship, hierarchy, sort order, RLS filter or report visual. They still take memory and refresh time.
Why it matters
Severity depends on how many objects are affected.
How to fix it
Remove them in Power Query (Choose columns) or hide them if they are kept for future use. Re-check after confirming no other report uses this model.
