I'd like to be able to move/rearrange my Calculated Columns in the Data View so they can be placed next to columns where they would be more relevant and make more sense.


It would be nice also if the Calculated Columns are shaded darker as in PowerPivot so we can easily distinguish them.


Also please enable Ctrl+A (Select ALL) in the Data View - currently it works only in the Query Editor.


This way we could Select ALL Data in the Data View where it would include the Calculated Columns.

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

The minimum would be that the order of the columns in the table view was the one imported from powerquery.

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

We need to be able to change the order the fields and folders are displayed. Currently it makes no sense to the end users and is jeopardizing our move from OBIEE to Power BI.

We have reports in Tableau, Qlikview and PowerBI in our org. Making the manipulation of data more agile in PowerBI will drive more users towards this tool for data analysis.

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

This would make it so much easier to understand the flow of data columns - meaning each column on the left builds up to the one on the right. Currently jumping back and forth between columns is confusing and makes life a lot more difficult than it needs to be!

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

really would help usability of the data view and organization of the data for report creators. Thank you!

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

This is absurd that you cannot do this after this long.
