Hello All,

 

I have created a folder for my calculations in PowerBI Desktop (see below).

 

Is there a way to rename this folder?

 

Thanks!

Hi @RichFlorida ,

 

You can rename a folder by right-clicking on it and clicking rename in the pop-up window.

Go to the model view and double-click on the folder name, which should let you rename it

 

I did try to double-click in the Model view, nothing happens. 

Still not able to rename.
