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
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.
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
Many times, I create Calculated Measures (and possibly Calculated Columns) for no other reason that to use them in other CM's and/or CCs. These measures of course are visible to anyone using the application, and can clutter things up and cause confusion. I can 'hide' them, but by doing so I am also hiding them from myself when I am quickly scanning the list on the right side of the application. It would be great to have a folder (or the ability to create one) wherein these could be deposited and kept out of the way - for pure housekeeping purposes.
RE: Grouping Fields into dimensions and measure
I hope this feature will be available with hierarchies
