I'd like to be able to move/rearrange my Calculated Columns in the Data View so they can be placed next to columns where they would be more relevant and make more sense.


It would be nice also if the Calculated Columns are shaded darker as in PowerPivot so we can easily distinguish them.


Also please enable Ctrl+A (Select ALL) in the Data View - currently it works only in the Query Editor.


This way we could Select ALL Data in the Data View where it would include the Calculated Columns.

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

Please enable the Rearranging of all columns (even non calculated ones).

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

Powerbi is hell of a problem... Why can't we swap columns in the data view.. The union is messing all the data..

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

Please don't limit this to just calculated columns; enable rearranging ALL columns, as this would GREATLY simplify structuring tables!!!

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

This request does make sense mainly for tables with large number of columns and many calculated columns.
Is it so complex to enable a similar drag & drop feature as available in the Query Editor ?

RE: Moving/Rearranging Calculated Columns

This must be an easy one to implement, would be so useful when viewing the raw data. Especially as filtering was added to the Data View.

This would ease training and handover of PowerBI developments. Wide spreading the use of the application in an easier manner to the users

It would be great if calculated column and measures is in bold,Italic and different colors.
