Add Folders to Data Tables

This seems like such a simple idea and it may have already been asked, but would it be possible to allow user to add folders to data tables as a means to better organize measures? In some of the tables I use I can have up to two dozen columns of data but then add to that upwards of two dozen measures that are scattered because attributes are stored alphabetically and you can be rolling the mouse up and down trying to find what you are looking while building reports. I ask this because in one table to essentially two distinct groups of measures. It would be nice to be able to do just that in grouping them together making them easier to find and retrieve. This is over course akin to what users are already able to do with a right click in file explorer in organizing files. Thanks!

  • I think an additional thing I would like with this idea is the ability to organize tables in the data explorer the way you would like to have them. Just pick a table up and drop it at the top of the list so it is easier to find and access. Also, the ability to sort names would be nice, but not as necessary.


    I've encountered how annoying it can be to scroll through a list of different data tables. I think this idea of allowing files is really good!
