    Excellent recommendation to organize Measures.
    I have a question here:
    1. I created a host of measures in my SSAS Model. Can I organize it in similar manner? Please guide.
    2. While working, I have also created many measures and surely there are some that are no longer used in my report. Is there a quick way to identify them?
    3. If I were to alter my measure name, I need to remember which visuals were they used and fix them one at a time. Is there a better and easier way to achieve this?
    Advance Thanks.

I believe those are the only 2 options you have without using any external tools.
