Field name default always starts with 'sum of'

Hello,

I am rather new to Power BI. When watching videos online to learn, their field names show up as whatever that data field is titled. When I drop my fields in to a visualization, it always defults to say 'Sum of' before my field name, and then I have to go in and edit all of the field names manually. Obviously there is a better way to do this that I am not aware of.. 🙂 

I have gone into the modeling screen and selected 'Don't Summarize' but all that does is change the 'Sum of' to ' Count of'

You can double-click on the name and edit it and press Enter

Watch this https://youtu.be/w4NHK_jizUw?t=2653 starting at 44:13. When he drags it in, it defaults to 'Revenues' whereas mine would default to 'Sum of Revenues'.
