How to find relation between visualization and a field?

If you rename a field in Visualizations sidebar it is not even to what field (in Fields sidebar) it refer to. Is there some easy way to find out an exact mapping?

    Hi Anonymous ,

    Maybe  the "Performance Analyzer" can help you.

    If I change the name of [Brand] column into "Changed name":

    Then, I can find the fields when check the query.

    // DAX Query
EVALUATE
  TOPN(
    502,
    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
      ROLLUPADDISSUBTOTAL(ROLLUPGROUP('Sales'[Brand], 'Sales'[CountryRegion]), "IsGrandTotalRowTotal"),
      "SumBudget", CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Budget]))
    ),
    [IsGrandTotalRowTotal],
    0,
    'Sales'[Brand],
    1,
    'Sales'[CountryRegion],
    1
  )

ORDER BY
  [IsGrandTotalRowTotal] DESC, 'Sales'[Brand], 'Sales'[CountryRegion]

     

    Best regards,

Should be easier way, like tooltip or such. That complexity means that product is not very mature.

Can we submit a feature request, what do you think?

      Now tooltip started to appear over Values. It shows relation to Fields.
