Hi,

 

I am building a data model, modified table names and field names as per the business logics. But users want to have a saperate folder where we can have only KPI's rather than it in the tables.

 

In SAP Business Objects or Cognos we created custom folders and custom Objects and can be named as per the business understandings.

 

In Power BI: I clicked on Enter New Data and named as Key Performance Indicators and started creating measures and it worked well under this new name. But I when tried to creating dimensions pointing to the tables it doesn't help.

 

Do we have feasibility to acheive this? This really helps to the users when they wanted to create reports online by connecting to the Data Sets.

 

Thanks,
Thimma

AFAIK, there's no such a feature at this moment. You can check this idea Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure and vote it up.

A cumbersome workaround can be create those dimensions with specific prefix. Since the tables in Power BI desktop show in a alphabet order, so the dimensions with same prefix would be next to each other.
