It would be handy to hide the Column Titles for a table. (I know you can change the text to white, but means you can't resize the visual box to smaller, which means it can be used as a report title).

Why do i need to make a title out of a table? It is the only way i can find, to dynamically fill a text box on a report. eg. EOM August 2016 Revenue, and then next month, make it September.

(Ideally it would be better if the Data Card visual could display data that wasn't just numerical).

RE: Ability to hide a column title

I vote for this - with the ability to hide just one column's name, or change it to blank. I have matrices where the meaning of the row headers is obvious, so having a title for them at the top just looks silly.

RE: Ability to hide a column title

As a workaround i covered the column header with a card visual but when i print the report the hidden column name is also showing.

We need this option for a scenario where we need to change the column headers dynamically. For ex. date as column headers. I need to display only last 3 days of information (as separate columns) in my table plus some other KPIs. So have created measures to get last three days information but header should also dynamically change.

In scenario when matrix is used and measures are displayed as rows, the blank headers are not ideal. Please implement.

RE: Ability to hide a column title

I vote to add this functionality.

I have multiple table with identical columns but different values stack up one above another, and I don't want to display those column headers again and again.

RE: Ability to hide a column title

I also vote for this.
I have a table of revenue growth by category, and I want to sort rows by revenue. However, I don't want to show total revenue on a matrix.

It should be an easy feature to add, and would make the matrix module a lot more powerful.
