In Power BI Desktop, we can't change the field name when we specify aggregation type, but we can change the title text in chart Format.

Hi @Anonymous

 

don't use just the columns (and then the aggregations functions in the Value box), but create rather measures. You can simply name them by your choice.

 

Regards.

Pavel
