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.

I'm a new user coming from Tableau. While is has issues like this as well, it is a very simple function over there. We use this frequently to expand and collapse columns such as address fields, sales hierarchies, etc to save real-estate on the page. Any updates when this is coming?

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).

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.

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.
