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

This would be great to simplify the drill on that some users not understand

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

This is a standard feature with Qlik... has been for several years... can you please add this for Power BI?

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

Please implement this functionality. I am working on migrating some excel reports to PBI. As users have this feature in excel, they need to see it in PBI also.

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

just a meta comment. it is extremely deflating having the "top idea" be an idea submitted almost four years ago with a bunch of comments and still "under review"maybe highlight some successes on the front page? unless you're going for the "don't even try"

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

Try out the expand/collapse hierarchy option in Inforiver for Microsoft Power BI!Some other useful features that are available - Group column headers, Support for ragged hierarchy (especially useful for financial reporting).

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

This feature is directly available in Excel with Group & Ungroup Columns, than why that design cant be enabled in Power BI Table & Matrix visuals

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

If you can do it for rows you should be able to do it for columns. I have the same need as comment above. User should be able to select which year to expand/collapse.
