When a measure name is changed formatting for graphs re-sets and we have to re-do it

[GvidoN]

There have been many cases where I need to change a name for a measures that has been used in many reports. However, one I change a name for a measure all the measure specific formatting in graphs breaks and I need to go an change the formatting manually once again.

For example, if I have a report like this:

and I change the measure name from “Hours spent cool” to “Hours spent very cool” the formatting completely re-sets and I have to re-do it:

And this happens in all the reports this measures has been used in.

I second this, would be nice to fix it as it seems unnecessary and I had to redo the formatting many times which is especially painful in case of multiple more complex matchings to define different colors etc.

Hi @GvidoN,

Thanks for sharing your suggestion!

You’re absolutely right — currently, when measures are renamed, formatting gets reset and needs to be reconfigured. This is a known limitation, but we hear you and we have logged this as an improvement idea in our backlog.

We’ve added both your and @aherz votes to this improvement idea and will keep you posted if there are any updates.

Edit: I have also added votes of @miks, @Elvis and @LauraHilkovic

Best,

I would like to add my vote too
Thank you!
