You import a table that contains a column named ZIPCode. The column is stored as a whole number data type because all values are 5-digit numeric postal codes. Report designers frequently add the column to visuals, and Power BI automatically aggregates it, showing totals such as 245 879 instead of individual codes. You need to configure the model so that the column is never aggregated when it is used in any new visual, without requiring report designers to change a setting each time. Which table or column property should you modify to achieve this behavior?
Change the column's Summarization property to "Don't summarize".
Hide the column from the report view.
Change the column's Data category to Address.
Format the column with a custom numeric format code (#####).
In Model view you can control how numeric columns behave when they are placed in a visual. The Summarization property determines the default aggregation Power BI applies. Setting this property to "Don't summarize" tells Power BI to treat the values as identifiers rather than measures, so the column will always appear as individual values and will never be summed, averaged, or otherwise aggregated. Changing data type or data category does not stop a numeric field from being aggregated, and hiding the column would prevent users from selecting it at all rather than presenting it correctly.
