How to restrict the number of tables which show up in the fields section

As we know at times the our model might grow largerly and might have several tables in it , so if a new user wants to create a new reports it becomes difficult to identifty the fields that we need to use in any report . Is there a way that we can logically group these tables , so that the user can choose tables from the group which have the fields pertaining to his reporting needs.

HI @yuvarajm,

 

If your datasource is from sql service or other database who support t-sql query, you can try to direct use t-sql query(advanced option -> sql statement) to select and summary related fields to a new table instead of get data and load all tables to power bi.

I'd suggest enabling the Modeling View and grouping your tables into different tabs.
