    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.

    We need to be able to mimic the feature of Excel where I can Format a column header, change the Alignment, set the Orientation to 45 degrees.

    This does not work on the Hierarchy. If I add a hierarchy to the value of table, I cannot change it is name. So I am afraid this is not COMPLETED yet!
