In the july 2022 version of Power BI it was announced that you can see the display name in Power BI of a dataverse-field, instead of the technical name: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-my/blog/power-bi-july-2022-feature-summary/#post-19945-_Toc10809984...
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work very good ...
Today I got two failing dashboards, working on the same Semantic model, with the following error (online dashboard):
And in the dashboard (pbix) itself:
Here is the situation:
So: How can I make sure that Power BI just uses the "nrq_enterprisenumbers_numbersonly", so the technical name of the field. Those names won't normally change anymore.
(Also notice that when you change the language of the user interface of the users that connects to the Dataverse, all display names are changed to that specific language! In my opinion that is also a very strange behaviour, since I'm not able to change that language anymore, or all my dashboard will suddenly fail!)
This looks like an issue as the behavior is different from the expected behavior introduced in the feature summary article. I will do a test to check whether I can reproduce the same result. I will let you know once I have any update. Thank you for your patience.
Best Regards,
Jing
