Rearrange Hierarchy?

I have created a hierarchy like: MegaProduct / SuperProduct / ProductLine / SKU. I'd like to change the order to Super / Mega / Line / SKU. But this doesn't seem to be possible? I have tried dragging, right-clicking, ellipsis menu, google, forum search, and ideas search. It seems like this would be standard functionality - am I just doing something wrong?

Hi, @RVand 

 

In the latest version, the created hierarchy doesn't support drag to change the order. You can choose to recreate the hierarchy and add fields to the hierarchy regularly.

This can be achieved by viewing the hierarchy via the 'Model' view in PBI Desktop

Once in that view click the specific hierarchy field within the appropriate table.  For example :

 Then, in the Properies blade, you can add and drag items to the hierarchy and (re)order them as needed.

Don't forget to click 'Apply Level Changes' once done. 😉

That's unfortunate, but at least it confirms I wasn't doing it wrong. Thanks!
