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.

Being able to expand and collapse columns is a critical feature for finance and operational reporting where hierarchies are used (e.g. time - months, quarter, years).

Hi. First of all the expand/collapse on Rows is GREAT!.

I would like it also on Columns.
Right now I am doing a Sales Dashboard and I need to add a + sign to expand to show UNITS as well as the Sales Amount. So I definitely think it would be a great add.

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

now that this feature was released i'm kind of disappointed because DOES NOT WORK for multidimensional cubes!!!!

Are you have an estimated date when it is going to be available for multidimensional cubes (MD)?
