Hi,
Being a total noob in Power BI, unable to solve this issue on my own.
I uploaded 2 CSV file Customer and Product from the folder, updated in the query editor and loaded in Power BI desktop.
I can view the small icon (SIGMA Icon) next to column names in Data but not in Model View.
Please find the attached image.

Awaiting help.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
Sigma icon will not appear in the model view. It will appear in data view as it is required to know which is a number column while projecting it in a chart, measure or column.

Yess.. I have checked on other platforms.
The new version of Power BI does not have icons.
You saved my day.
Thanks,

Hi,
First, thanks for replying.
But this seems strange. Because I am taking one online class and their Model view is totally different. The sigma icon is visible next to numerical columns.
Thnks again.
