Helen,

you can have a look at Rob's document analyzer, which helps you in identifying these fields.

Comment them in script. Something like below

Load

     Field1,

//     FIeld2, //Not used so comment

     Field3

The easiest way is to have a design document at the start and not to load them in the first place. Depending on the complexity of your load, data and dashboard design, doing it retrospectively may be a job from hell.

I have commented the fields which are not used in the application.

I wanted to remove the fields which are not used in the front End..

Any field not used or need to be used in future can be either commented out or your can use below in script

Drop Fields Field1, Field2 from TableName;

or

Drop Field from TableName;

If you will not mention From TableName, it will drop all existence the named field from the data model..

in front end they can be deleted directly from object tab in sheet properties.

I thought that Helen Betty was looking for a way to go back through the load to automagically remove any data field that's not used in the associated Dashboard(s), but the reply saying:

"I have commented the fields which are not used in the application.

I wanted to remove the fields which are not used in the front End."

has confused me mightily.
