Grouping Fields into dimensions and measures will allow for quickly locating the fields and helps design reports faster, rather than searching the long list of fields.

RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
In a similar vein, it would be nice to have a little "Show Active Only" button at the top of the Fields pane. Clicking this button would hide all tables and all all fields except those included in the currently selected visualization. Currently Yellow highlighting provides similar functionality, but the feature could be strengthened by just allowing user to hide all the stuff that is not present in a given visualization. This would make training/adoption easier. [And yes, we can and should hide fields that we don't want anyone to see, but that's a separate issue). Thank you.

Yes please, add this improve
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
Please implement this as this is really useful for developers and users alike.
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
Would be great to organize measures into groups/categories/folders etc!
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
It this works, we have a validate point for many customers who has come from reporting tools (SAP Business Objects (Universe), Cognos, Micro Strategy etc..). Many power bi users are trying to create reports once we build robust data model. This needs to addressed immediately.
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
Is it still under review ? I think this is important especially for time intelligence measures where you end up with lots of them (py, yoy, ytd...)
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
Is this implemented? Can we arrange Dimensions & Measures coming from multiple tables in DBinto their respective folders & sub folders in Power BI Desktop?
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
It would be great to be able to define folders and hierarchies (nested folders).
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
A must have functionality for a simple Self Service BI solution....
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
'@ GregDF - yes, many others do the same. It would work, but I would prefer the solution I mentioned in the original post - it works better for people who I'm trying to teach how to use Power BI.
