It would be nice with some kind of organizing level above the table level in a (tabular) data model in Power BI, SSAS etc. For instance, by using "Display folders" to include measures, columns etc. from multiple tables in the same folder.
There's a lot of business value to tap into between and across organizational boundries and tables, or from a wider overview, which is restricted by the tables as the top level in larger data models.
The concept quickly and superficially illustrated by a fictive AdventureWorks example: https://oxcrx34285.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/166559i041B82FEAEB0C494/image-size/large
Maybe one could also have a choice between showing the traditional table views and this virtual folder structure, when one needs the underlying tables/table structure for whatever reason.

This would be so useful for the end user. Please implement.
RE: "Display folders" above table level in data model
Would be very helpful. thank you!
RE: "Display folders" above table level in data model
This is a major request of our developers. We have a very large, complicated SSAS Tabular model & this would be very beneficial for them to use 'common' fields easily.
