Dynamics Custom Fields Label and Value Display
Hi Eric,
I do not have labels in the system, it only shows the number value instead in the query editor for accounts.
I found this post which shows that you can connect through the picklistmapping:
However, it brings over all values of all the custom fields. Microsoft assigns the same values based on custom fields so I can have 1000001 come up under three different custom fields under accounts. So, Power BI cannot create a relationship to the field since it is not unique. I'm attempting to see if I can create an entity for each to appropriatley assign the labels. Another work-around I found is to concat the fields within Power BI which allows for a unique ID to link to. This is still requires hands on work in the query editor which I'm trying to avoid, outside of just assigning it to display the label.
I did not connect the Excel file into Dynamics. I created an excel table with the IDs and label names, connected it to Power BI, and then established the relationship in Power BI.
Hello! I have the same problem and it is very frustrating.
Did you end up finding an automatic solution that fixes this issue?
I would apprecaite an update from you.
Thank you
