Creating a map between database and power bi display names

hi Guys,

if it is possible to map displaynames in power bi to source data?

The issue is that I have specific database names like NormalizedLocationName and want to show this every time within power bi as Location Name.

How you are handling it?
What about updating source names? If this not destroy DAXes?

Best Wishes,
Jacek

Either use views on the SQL side, or use a zipped list of replacement values in Power Query during the ingestion.
