Change column labels/names in the visual

[marionelaj]

It would be great if we could change columns labels/names in the standard visuals (Table & Matrixes mainly). In our company we have a data warehouse build to support the PowerBI tabular model with the data. The field names in the data model are not the most intuitive to our PowerBI End User. It could be great if we could change the way the field labels are shown in our tables to be more intuitive and meaningful without needing to change the field names in the data model.

Same thing for analysis services sources used in direct connection mode.

I would like to be able to change headings in colounms and add a dimension for example "ton" underneath. Furthermore, alignment of the data (left, enter, right) should also be possible.

I agree. Need this to be editable Per matrix or table as many times I need to tweek a name for each visual using same data

[VictoriaRosas]

I would like to be able to change the names of my measures on Power BI. My names are too long, but that's because I need to identifying among them. Thank you!

This is very important for me.

When using summarization (e.g .Count) on a field it would be useful to be able to rename the title of that field on the report to something more meaningful. e.g. "Count of OrderNumber" to "Number of orders".

I'd like to see that functionality as well. In the beginning of the project customer might not understand the field name concept too well. In later stages it must be possible to rename measures.

This would be very valuable. Depending on who the intended audience of the report is, they might need for the field names in a visualization to be more, or less descriptive. It would be good to be able to do this on per visual basis, without changing the model.

This comes really handy in the tablix / matrix visualisations. Columns in a table for example now must have a large width when you want to read the column name.

This would be a very nice feature to have, especially when creating identical measures that pertain to differing timeframe granularities or data sources
