How to... let your users control the columns in a Table visual in Power BI


How to show/hide columns in a Table visual!

Hey there Reader,

Wouldn't it be great if, when you have to use a Table visual in a report, you could let your viewers choose what columns they want to see? That way, a table with tons of columns can be shrunk down to just the columns different viewers actually need!

Well, this IS possible, and Power BI forums have lots of complicated ways to accomplish it... but you shouldn't have to spend forever just to hide (or show) some columns.

I'm showing you the EASY way to do it. How easy is it? The video version of the post is only 5 minutes long. 4 minutes of that is mainly just me talking... the actual technique is like 1 min.
