Power BI Pro Tip: Name your linked tables
July 22, 2014 


Just a quick Power BI Pro Tip this time: if you use linked tables to add data to your data model in Excel, before you press the ‘Add To Data Model’ button be sure to go to the table properties in Excel and give your table a better name (better than Table X). This makes figuring out which data you are looking at so much easier. You will thank me later J
