RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

Please add this feature. In all my Data Flows and Power Query, everthing is nicely organised. Even the Measures can be organised. Why not the table objects!

RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

I have over 40 tables from 4 different sources. I need to organize them into folders. This is impossible to do at the moment and makes my data pane unusable and difficult to navigate. Please consider making this a priority as the community is in need of this simple feature.

This would be so incredibly useful. The functionality exists for Power Query, I'd like to be able to declutter my working space in power bi by grouping my infrequently used tables.

Please consider including the display folder functionality in the upcoming release of Power BI Desktop. This feature would greatly benefit both business users and IT professionals, as it would simplify and streamline our work processes. Thank you.

RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

Agreed! When a model has many tables it would be helpful to reduce visual clutter and group them. Or even change the sort order. I ran into a situation where we wanted to name tables business friendly names but there were so many tables users couldn't find the fact table where all the measures were located because alphabetically it was more than half way down the list. For an enterprise reusable model you might have several groups using it for self service analytics grouping tables they could collapse expand groups of tables based on the use case for their analysis.

RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

Makes you wonder why all this effort is spent on AI when so many basic functions are not being implemented that people have actually asked for. Microsoft should really be concentrating on what there use based needs

RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

Surprised to see that such a simple navigation functionality is not already there. Happy to know that this is under review. Its very important as our audience is unable to use the reports effectively due to messed up tables list.
