Easily identify all Reports impacted by a column change or removal

Need a way to proactively search (query a 'where used') on a column name to see all the Reports its used in.

Would be very helpful to be able to see a summary list of all the Reports that are using information from that Sheet. Currently the only option is to see where a column in a sheet is being used in a formula in another sheet. But when trying to update column name in a Sheet, there's no way to generate a list of all the Reports where that Sheet column appears.

Totally agree, this is needed.

I want to make some structure change to particular sheet. (Especially Primary column) However, before I can change that, I need to find out how many and what reports are using this sheet as it's source to make sure nothing will break.

Anything used in cross-sheet reference formulas are easier to find out but Smartsheet support said there is no way to know what reports are running using that particular source sheet.

As we build more solution and share the source sheet with others, sometimes structure change is needed but I'd love to avoid breaking reports, so I'd like to find out before I make the change.

This function would come in very handy especially I inherited this sheet when I go hired.

Thanks!
