It would be great if you could select multiple columns in the data view e.g. the hide multiple columns from the report view in one operation.

Bonkers! Works in Excel (obviously!) A format painter would be good while you're at it!

How is this still not incorporated? Ease and speed of use continues to give other BI programs the edge over Power BI. It takes me at least 100x longer in Power BI to do these things. Other programs allow me to highlight, make changes, and I can be on my way. Power BI says, "stick around, stay awhile!"

Takes too long to do manually.

Please make this happen! I have some very large tables that are super frustrating to work through.

Just taken me 15 minutes to re-format columns - should have taken seconds. How is this more productive?
