table sorter

Anonymous — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 15:48:48 GMT

I've used the table sorter custom visual on my report and had some questions about it -

1. I've rename the fields (values) that I'd like to show on the chart. However, the chart still display the original field name. Is this something can be fixed in the future? Most of the out-of-box visuals can rename the field as displayed, and I think it's a nice feature to have.

2. I can't apply "visual level filters" to this visual. Is it possible to do so?

Thanks,

Wenchi Wang

Hello @Anonymous,

You should rename column at Fields panel in order to change column name at Table Sorter
Visual level filter isn't avaivable due to fact that it is used for filtering (Power BI native Slicer has the same behavior)

I rename the column under Values section. When I open the pbix file today, the chart appered the renamed field name. It seems like the changes won't show on the fly until I save and re-open the file. (PS. I rename the field after I create the chart)

Thanks,

I think that's ok but renaming worked on fly for me.
