There should be an option in Power BI for the data in the columns to be either case sensitive or insensitive. When one deals with data involving client names or entity names, case sensitivity-sinsensitivity does pose a problem.
There are ways in M query to avoid this, but Power BI should have an option for itself as a PBI feature.

RE: Case sensitive-insensitive option in Power BI

On the long list of basic features that Power BI does not prioritize as it does not sound sexy, this might be the biggest missing feature. It is so easy to implement, yet so important. Come on Microsoft

Nothing on this yet? It's a very important matter, cannot believe it's been ignored for so long.

This issue needs to be addressed, when using search in slicer it makes sense to have the option for case insensitive.

RE: Case sensitive-insensitive option in Power BI

The lack of case sensitivity and cases changing on load from Power Query to Power BI entirely prevents me from using Power BI in many cases. I'll be moving away from Power BI as a reporting solution solely because of this issue.

RE: Case sensitive-insensitive option in Power BI

This issue goes well beyond just case sensitive names. Many data sources use alpha-numeric codes that are case sensitive when they are created and need to retain that case sensitivity when loaded into Power BI.
