I would love to see a way to upload a list of workspaces for tenant analysis. We have thousands of workspaces, and there are specific subsets that I may need to analyze. It would be nice to not have to run it on all workspaces (too slow) or manually search & select 350 workspaces.
Awesome tool that is essential for all Power BI developers. ISSUE: Measure Killer window remains all black after waking up Windows 11 from sleep in Parallels Desktop. Environment: MacBook Pro running M4 Pro CPU (ARM) Software: All latest versions
Parallels Desktop 26.3.2 Pro Edition
Windows 11 Pro 25H2 running in VM with 16GB dedicated RAM
Measure Killer 2.9.4
After pausing the Windows 11 VM for even a few seconds, when I wake the Windows 11 environment back up the Measure Killer window only displays an all black window (no app detail as previously seen before paused). This behavior is observed in all Measure Killer windows (except for the initial window with the selection icons: Single Model, Shared Model, etc)
A great tool! I'm still exploring all of the possibilities, but it's part of my regular model evaluation now. Some suggestions:
a) Allow model best practices to be turned on / off for individual models. For example, for some data sources, floating point data is unfortunately a fact of life, while for others, it should be designed out.
b) For the percent formatting, allow this to be tweaked. For example, we use percent formats with no decimal and no commas (percent calculations shouldn't really go above 100 and certainly not above 500).
c) The DIVIDE check should determine if the denominator is a measure or a hard coded value ( like " / 100 " ). Static values are ok…
I ran the analyze on the desktop. Measure Killer reported a DAX measure was not being used. I found the measure was being used by a button Fx title property.
Thoughts?
Enhancement Request: Please add the ability for Measure Killer to identify calendar columns used in alternative calendars (fiscal calendar). This is a powerful recent feature in Power BI that allows using DAX Time Intelligence functions with alternatively defined calendars.

The current Measure Killer does not report a column is being used even though it is used in the mapped category columns (configured in Calendar Options).
