Measure Killer 2.9.3 by Brunner BI GmbH is a specialized external tool designed for Power BI and Microsoft Fabric environments that focuses on tenant and dataset optimization through comprehensive metadata analysis. The software operates exclusively through XMLA connections, allowing datasets to remain within the service while analyzing only metadata without accessing actual data content. Its primary function involves identifying and removing unused measures and columns to reduce dataset refresh times and minimize memory and CPU consumption on Premium capacities. The tool's fifth iteration introduces tenant-wide overview capabilities, displaying which reports utilize custom visuals or contain report-level measures, while providing comprehensive statistics on all datasets and reports including page counts and visual quantities. Users can automate cleanup processes by allowing Measure Killer to directly delete unused measures or generate C# scripts for manual deletion via Tabular Editor. For column optimization, the software produces M-Code that can be implemented through Power Query's Advanced Editor to eliminate unused columns, thereby reducing RAM consumption. Each analyzed report generates detailed Excel documentation showing artifact usage across various components including measures, visuals, filters, conditional formatting, Power Query joins, and relationships. The software also creates visual charts displaying the ratio of used versus unused columns and measures. As a business intelligence optimization utility, Measure Killer serves data professionals seeking to streamline their Power BI and Microsoft Fabric implementations. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
