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

We have had two customers request this feature, just in the last week!

Yes, needed for showing Year -> Quarter -> Month.

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

Time examples have already been posted and valid for me as well. Beside that I'd like to generally be able to show aggregated information in columns which are shown per default, but add additional information for the user in per default hidden columns beside, which the user can expand if he's interested in (to give one other example: to e.g. see which orders on hand are already confirmed, overdue, etc.)

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

Same here... we discussed a case: Weeks in the columns and the possibility to +(show) the single days of only the last week.
