Ensure units are included in all Power BI reports

When working in Power BI, I cannot figure out which units are being reported in the visualizations. This should be tied to the data pulling in and automatically include the units in the visualization. When I pull in the "unit of measure" data field it is not always the unit of what is being reported (for example emissions) but is the unit of the data type that is being summed up (for example tons of waste or kWh of energy)

    There are a number of updates being made to our standard reports to better address the unit of measure being used in those reports, these are expecting to be rolled out within the next month.


    If creating reports using the PowerReport edit function, the "Unit of Measure" fields will align to the fields they are related to, (all values are normalized to that unit).


    i.e. if the "Emissions Unit" field is "t CO2e", then all Emissions fields will be reporting in t CO2e, regardless of what data type is being used.

    This also goes for the Energy, Distance, Mass, Volume, Global Cost and Area fields.

    The "Native Unit" fields can be used to report in the unit of measure that the data type being display is configured for, and the "Cost" field is in the local currency of the region the location the account belongs to.
