Can I use synonyms for table fields and use them in the graphics/reports presentation?

Hello all,

 

I would like to use synonyms for table fields and use them in the graphics/reports presentation. Is it possible?
Usually the table fields are too much technical for end users.

 

Thanks in advance.

In Power BI desktop, visualizations in report view only take the source column name in your dataset. You can only rename the column in dataset as @sornavoor suggested. Or use the synonyms in query when importing data, then this synonyms will be used as column name in dataset.

 

Regards,

Suggest that you rename the table fields to "User Friendly" names  that represent the content.
