We need the ability to search across all column names in all datasets, dataflows, reports, and dashboards in the Power BI service. This is a basic BI function that separates older and newer platforms from Power BI. Currently search appears limited to the names of the tables/datasets/dataflows/reports/dashboards. I need to be able to search for a specific column without knowing the original dataset.

RE: Search Column Names in Power BI service

Something similar to Tableau then?
I would also add that searching for measures and calculated colums should be included as well!
