    RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

    I agree with the need for this, I have a large model merging 3 functional areas, with some common overlapping Dimensions and yet several others unique to the specific area. This improvement would help Users enormously in avoiding confusion

    RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

    I think putting tables into folders is very important for organisation reasons, it becomes quite a mess of tables once the report has more than a handful of sources - and very often it would be useful and logical to group related tables togetherHaving all the tables in one long alphabetical list seems very limited and silly

    And now with field parameter tables, it would be very nice to group them into a single folder.

    For Large model utilization by the final user (data consumer), we would really need the ability to sort and group tables into folders

    I wounder why this feature is not there yet. This feature is a necessity. Also instead of making us putting measure into a fake table, it would useful to make a separate section in the fields panel for measures.

    This was marked as "Under Review" a year ago, any update on when it will be available?

    We require this feature for use in (large) SSAS tabular models which are directly consumed bij end users in Excel. Models can consist of many separate dimension objects which we would like to combine in specific folders and subfolders to presen to end-users.

    This is a very basic requirement and available in all other BI Tools. Power BI being a leader in the market, should try to fix this as soon as possible. Hope they will work on it.
