It would be great if we could change columns labels/names in the standard visuals (Table & Matrixes mainly). In our company we have a data warehouse build to support the PowerBI tabular model with the data. The field names in the data model are not the most intuitive to our PowerBI End User. It could be great if we could change the way the field labels are shown in our tables to be more intuitive and meaningful without needing to change the field names in the data model.

RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
A very useful feature for reports connecting to SSAS live.
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
This comes really handy in the tablix / matrix visualisations. Columns in a table for example now must have a large width when you want to read the column name.
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
This would be very valuable. Depending on who the intended audience of the report is, they might need for the field names in a visualization to be more, or less descriptive.
It would be good to be able to do this on per visual basis, without changing the model.
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
I'd like to see that functionality as well. In the beginning of the project customer might not understand the field name concept too well. In later stages it must be possible to rename measures.
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
This is very important for me.
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
When using summarization (e.g .Count) on a field it would be useful to be able to rename the title of that field on the report to something more meaningful.
e.g. "Count of OrderNumber" to "Number of orders".
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
I would like to be able to change headings in colounms and add a dimension for example "ton" underneath. Furthermore, alignment of the data (left, enter, right) should also be possible.
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
I agree. Need this to be editable Per matrix or table as many times I need to tweek a name for each visual using same data
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
I would like to be able to change the names of my measures on Power BI. My names are too long, but that's because I need to identifying among them.
Thank you!
RE: Change column labels/names in the visual
This is highly necessary!
Additionally Count and Count Distinct are both presented with "Count of X"
