QSDA is flagging a dimension I use (only) in a filter here:

I’d vote for skipping the generation of this flag if I have the dimension in a filter.

If it’s used in a filter, then it should not be flagged as unused. I’ll test this out.

Greg, I’m unable to reproduce this problem. I added a field used only as filter, and it is detected as in use. Can you tell me a bit more about your case? Which sheet in your app is the filter on?
