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 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: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

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.
