Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure

Submitted by on ‎01-04-2015 08:25 PM
Grouping Fields into dimensions and measures will allow for quickly locating the fields and helps design reports faster, rather than searching the long list of fields.

In a similar vein, it would be nice to have a little "Show Active Only" button at the top of the Fields pane. Clicking this button would hide all tables and all all fields except those included in the currently selected visualization. Currently Yellow highlighting provides similar functionality, but the feature could be strengthened by just allowing user to hide all the stuff that is not present in a given visualization. This would make training/adoption easier. [And yes, we can and should hide fields that we don't want anyone to see, but that's a separate issue). Thank you.

Just a slicer for dimensions vs measures at the top of the search bar would be lovely!

This feature is available in almost all other self-serving BI tools and it is a must-have! Please make it happen!

This feature is a no-brainer. How is it not in Power BI?!!! This is a deal breaker!

And to add, measures should be organized in folders that are totally independent of underlying tables. The user does not care of the underlying data-model structure. The current implementation of folders 'within' a Logical table does not go far enough. Future state needs for the designer to have the ability to hide logical tables and create a 'Business Friendly' structure where the underlying fields are mapped. I have built ad-hoc implementations like this for customers, so I know this is a TRUE need. To wit, these structures vary based on Role - just putting it out there for the Power BI product managers!
