    It would be even more useful if we could select multiple columns at once for all functionality -- renaming part of the columnName, change Type, rearranging, etc.

    This is absolutely ABSURD that we have to do this manually.

    ABSURD

    This feature should have been included already - common sense

    It would be nice to allow the public of a report, as a way of interacting with the data, to be able to hide and unhide columns from a clustered Column. Switch visibility of columns on or off.

    Just spent over 30 minutes deleting fields. Power BI should make creating reports and dashboards easier and not more tedious.

    it is so frustrating to have to make 3 mouse clicks for every single field i want to hide in my report. please allow Ctrl+click to select multiple!! it is just an intuitive thing to be able to do... surprised it still hasn't been addressed.
