Support Display Folders for Table Objects and not just columns

Thanks, we are currently looking at supporting this, no timelines yet though.

RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

I would like to add my support for this feature. It is very cumbersome when combining data from various sources, some of which may have similar names, to try to find the table you are looking for. I am currently working on a project where I am using data from 3 datasets and after bringing them in, the tables are all jumbled together in the Report View.

This feature would help to find the tables specifically based on folder name.

This would be a great addition - so many hours of my sadly finite life lost trying to look for the right table in a group of like 20.

This would make a massive difference to users, similar to adding sub-folders to workspaces in PowerBI online, I'm unsure why it still hasn't been done!

On large models with 20+ tables, this would save so much time.

RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

Hey, any update on this? It would be really useful for large dashboards with multiple tables.

RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

Without this feature any larger data model (across different functional areas) becomes quite quickly quite messy. It would be great if you could add folders to group tables in (DQ mode).
