Change default data aggregation

Hello,

 

I am creating a model which has thousands of columns.  I need the default aggregation to be 'maximum' for each one and not 'sum'.

 

I havent been able to find any way to do this short of selecting each one individually and changing it...

 

Is there a way to globally change this setting in powerBI and have it apply to everything?

@Dave6547 , in the Model tab, you can select more than one column by pressing control and you will see the property tab. in the select the summarization.
