Measure name alias?

Hello,

 

I would like to customize the Tooltip and Legend and give an alias to all these measures because the naming is confusing.

 

Submitted_running should be changed to "Submitted CR"

Resolved_running should be changed to "Resolved CR"

Unresolved_running should be changed to "Unresolved CR"

 

I cannot just create 3 additional measures as sometimes I may already have other measures with the same name.

 

This is what I have now:

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Once you've added your measure to your visualization, simply right click on it in the Visualizations pane and rename it.

 

Best regards,

I accepted the solution, however I am wondering if it is possible to give an "alias" to a measure and avoid renaming it.

Unfortunately, it isn't currently possible.
You'd have to rename the measure in each visualization.

You could create an idea on ideas.powerbi.com

Best regards,
Martyn
