Changing single column names in a visual
Anonymous ah, yes I see what you mean now. There's no way to do that since they are the same column. You could create a new calculated column and rename it, then use that calculated column in the visual. Does that make sense? I'm assuming you've changed the aggregation on the column for each of the three blanks (ie one uses SUM, one uses COUNT, one uses AVERAGE). If that's the case you could also create explicit measures for each value. Otherwise please also share some sample data so we can see where the blank columns are coming from if I'm still not understanding.
Hello Allison,
Thank you for your confirmation. Unfortunately, there's not even any data in these columns, they're truly just supposed to be bank with different header names. I was hoping there was a way around having to make a bunch of differently named blank columns, but it is what it is.
Community ChampionAnonymous Yeah, unfortunately no way around it yet. You could always add an idea to Power BI ideas.
Depending on how you're using these, it might be slightly faster/more efficient to create a blank Measure rather than an entire column. Still a hassle, but an option.
