Q&A - is it possible to rename the columns in the statement simlar to SQL?

For example, Distinct count of User IDs as Users.

I *think* what you are trying to do is create a Measure of distinct users, not actually rename a column.  Please correct me if I am mistaken.

 

You can rename columns using SQL in your query, using the edit queries button on the ribbon.

 

You can create a measure by right clicking on a table and "create measure" - in this case it would be:

 

Users = DISTINCT(COUNTA('mytable'[UserID])) or something close.

 

Not at work, so dont have my powerbi install to check syntax.

I don't believe that is available in the Service, you have to use Desktop to rename columns. You can do that in the query or the model.
