Separate business names from technical names using SSAS and Power BI
I have heard this question come up now and then where someone wants to separate the names and columns seen by users from the names and users used in SSAS and in the reports. The main benefit this has is that name changes will not result in broken reports.
Turns out there is a neat trick that will allow you to do this. The trick is for you to add a translation to the model in the same language as the culture of the model is set to. As you know at the time of writing Power BI doesn’t support translations (it is planned though: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/business-applications-release-notes/october18/intelligence-platform/power-bi-service/dataset-metadata-translations) but when you add a translation for the default language (again the same as the model) Power BI will pick it up automatically
