It would be beneficial to incorporate features from Pivot tables that allow for the expansion and collapse of columns and hierarchical column groups within tabular visuals. This would not only solve the current limitations of matrices but also provide report creators with the flexibility to hide and show rows and columns, saving these settings for future use, thus eliminating the need to scroll through irrelevant data.

Vote on this idea if you want expand/collapse on column headers in the matrix similar to what was shipped for row headers in November (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-november-2018-feature-summary/#expandCollapse).

This is a good idea... It will be great use when we have multiple column for a visual

highly needed, this will be a great feature to have. I'm looking for an option to collaps some details that are less important at first view so the option to only expand it when more information is needed would be nice.

Any updates? This should be a priority. 10,000 people asking for it...

In General for the Matrix visual, all functionalities for the Rows should also be available for the Columns in the same way. For example, Sort is only available for Rows and Values, not for Columns. But this is much needed for Finance Reporting. It could easily be included in the "More Options" menu within the visual. That could be a quick win to implement

Look, it is the exceptional function this point to have a view within a table, we have countless possibilities of use, such as a company's cash flow, grouping sales periods of products and categories, that is, the possibilities will be absurd with that functionality.

I cannot understand why this feature is missing from Power BI, but it seems that setting column width in a table or matrix would be a great standard feature.
