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.

Replicating Excel reporting and found that column group expand collapse (+/-) is not available in Power Bi. Definitely needed

This feature would enable many "Excel based" dashboards to be effectively created and managed in PowerBI that use wide tables with expand/collapse groupings. One more "gap closed" in PowerBI vs. Excel functionality.

This is definitely required. It will improve the UX significantly in the matrix table.

Also, is there any update on +/- button on Analysis service data source?

RE: Epic idea: Hide, show, expand, and collapse tabular columns

Definitely need this. It'd be great to be able to expand the columns so we could show multiple hierarchies. The current drilldown for columns isn't nearly as user friendly as row drilldown.

Yes, please add. It will help with wide matrices.
