Table Visual: How two show two rows if two people have the same name

Hi

I have an Employee dimension with 2 rows:

 

ID     Name                     Value

id1   "Mr Anderson         1"

id2   "Mr Anderson         2"

 

If I show this in a table visual without including the ugly id column,  it will display

 

Mr Anderson  3

 

But that is of course not what I want- I want to display the same name twice

 

In Reporting Service, SSAS and every other report-tool know to man, you can define a "key Column" and a "Label Column",  for each dimension property, so that you may choose how to handle a situation like this. 

Please tell me this is possible in Power Bi also!

  • RootOfMinusOne , You need to use the ID(unique column in visual) , or you can try value as not summarized (if they are different)

  • This is what I figured but I cannot belive such an important feature has not been implemented. The real ID is very long and the user does not care about it at all- and "value as not summarized" will only work in the simplest of cases.
