Missing Column Names From CRM
So, you need to use the little arrows in the column header to expand that cell.
It's because those aren't columns in the same table. They are records from a different entity. Every picklist field in CRM is a lookup to a record in another table. So is every lookup field. Basically if the field isn't free text, date, or number it's probably going to show up in the query editor as a record. That has little to do with Power BI and more to do with the way CRM organizes and stores data.
Well, right now the content pack isn't very useful if you have a bunch of customizations. Meaning you have to create it from scratch. However, my hope is that once you can download a content pack dataset to Desktop then you could create additional queries to import your custom stuff and marry it to the tables in the content pack dataset. That's the thought anyway.
That's what I was afraid of. Oh well, we're rebuilding our entire CRM from scratch so I'm going to have to redo all the reports no matter what. Thanks for the info. I'll definitely keep an eye on that.
