RE: Hide/Show Column on Table

As a user and developer I am amazed this does not exist yet, and has so little votes, this is a no brainer, basic stuff, this could actually stop Qlik users who plan to migrate to PowerBI from doing so.

Please add this option asap!
It can be critical to be able to hide some columns (with confidential information) in a table and lock it. That means that, when a column is hidden and the table locked, the hidden column doesn't show when the user exports it to Excel for example.
Thanks!

This says it needs votes, but won't let me vote on it. Way to go, Microsoft.

Add this to conditional formatting for both the matrix and table. This should be a no brainer item to add. Both Qlik and Tableau allow this.

@Microsoft - Don't skip the basics

Need ability to allow end user selection of columns from a slicer visual that adds/removes columns from a table/matrix/bar/column visual.

Slicer with field/columns names Table visual
x A Category A B D E
x B
□ C
x D
x E

Have this ability in SSRS to hide conditionally - rows / fields.

Need this ability in power bi. Unable to vote on this however.

RE: Hide/Show Column on Table

This would be an excellent feature if it's considered.
With the help of this feature, we can provide dynamic columns selection to end-users.

RE: Hide/Show Column on Table

We have quite a few users that want columns hidden from visuals, but displayed in the summarized export in Excel. This feature would help greatly in that aspect.

RE: Hide/Show Column on Table

Please also add option to hide valuecolumns for columns but not for total.
For example: I have a Actual vs Budget Matrix. I want to show Actuals on Weekly basis (Dates[Year-Week] in Columns) and compare the total for the month with Budget on Month basis. Currently it adds a Budget valuecolumn for every week in the Matrix. What I want is a Margin shown for every week, followed by Total Margin followed by Budget and then Delta Actual vs Budget. So from left to right; Week-Margin, Week-Margin, Week-Margin, Week-Margin, Total-Margin, Total-Budget, Actual-vs-Budget.

I tried generating blank values with HASONEVALUE and then disable wordwrap and manually hide the columns, but when a different month is chosen they pop back up again.

A menu option that gives control for each Value to show on columns, columns and totals or totals only would be perfect!
