RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects
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.

Adding this basic functionality would be greatly appreciated!
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.
RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects
I 'm waiting for this functionality. As this is needed ti migrate from IBM Cognos Analytics to Power BI
RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects
Would love that feature too.
RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects
This would be very useful to organize tables based on topics on robust datasets. Is there any update on if/when this will be available?
RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects
In addition to the feature described in the title and the comments, it would be amazing if we had full flexibility in organising the columns in folders. For example, we would be able to put field A from table A and field B from table B into the same folder "Folder", without the subfolders "Table A" and "Table B" being displayed.

This will help us organise tables and group tables based on functions or themes.
