Boolean columns or measures are shown as True or False. That from a computer programming perspective is perfectly fine, we know 1 or 0, True or False. But for a dashboard that is meant to be used by other people, it does not seem like the friendliest option. Instead of True/False, why not allow Boolean collumns to be shown as Yes/No, Y/N. Consider a column called IsHedged and values of True. Does it read better as IsHedged = No or IsHedged = false or Ishedged = N.

Power BI

Booleans in table and matrix

Display boolean (true/false) values in tables and matrix visuals as a check (instead of the literals true/false)

Power BI

Boolean formatting options

For bit/bool data type columns, allow some new formating selections to show as 'Yes/No;On/Off;ect' to expidite the necessity of a new custom conditional calculated column.
