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).

10/20/2022 - Just an update, this is an extremely expensive item, which is why it has not been picked up yet. I promise we will revisit this after we ship visual calculations

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
This idea is the perfect representation of the entire idea and feature process at Microsoft. This is not rocket science. If they can do it on rows, they can do it on headers. BUT: 1) It is nothing they can use to sell more licenses, advertise, throw into marketing videos ("We can do +/- on columns" isn't a great sign of how innovative we are compared to "look at our cool new AI feature") 2) It is also no "brilliant new idea" that developers/managers get excited about, something that you are proud to work on and be part of the team and therefore internally pushing (like probably on-object editing which I'm sure some people internally are extremely excited about). Developers also want to do new cool things, not work on adding a "boring feature" that Excel 2000 was already able to do. And therefore, these usability improvements, that frustrate thousands to millions of users, just don't get any priority or resources, no matter how much we all complain here.
RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
This is a feature that is and has been available in SSRS and paginated reports for years. I am not sure why there would be any more complexity of implementing it and making available in PBI visuals.
RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
Hello MS Team, Any further updates on the expand/collapse of column headers in matrix visual?
RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
It would be also nice to add this function to measures as columns, so that we can collapse measures that are not that important, but will be still available if needed for interpretation of data.
RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
Really love a similar feature in Excel. I have a very wide matrix visual in PBI and it'd be nice to collapse groups of them and let the user choose their own destiny so to speak.Wonder if this could be done using calculation groups or something... But would be nice to have feature built in directly in visual.

test
RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
This would be great to simplify the drill on that some users not understand
RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
This is a standard feature with Qlik... has been for several years... can you please add this for Power BI?
RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
Please implement this functionality. I am working on migrating some excel reports to PBI. As users have this feature in excel, they need to see it in PBI also.
RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers
just a meta comment. it is extremely deflating having the "top idea" be an idea submitted almost four years ago with a bunch of comments and still "under review"maybe highlight some successes on the front page? unless you're going for the "don't even try"
