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

Most of the account reports with date field as column header need drill down feature with collapse option(+/-). It will be great if matrix visual can have this option.

Yes agree this is critical ... in fact it is almost a decisive factor that make the customer to choose between PBI vs other tools in some cases.

Yes would be very helpfull to add this. I have In the month, year to date measures and 12 month rolling averages. For the YTD and 12 MRA you don't want to see every month but only the last month.

RE: Add expand/collapse feature to column headers

Yes, please! Usually I face a matrix were in rows I have employees names and in columns the year/month/day...

I tried changing the order, but some offices has >30 employees so you can imagine the visual mess of searching them in the columns. In the same way, what I'm doing now it's to having employees in the rows and dates in the columns, but then when you expand to next level up to the day, now the visual displays all days (segmented in months) YTD, imagine what will happen to my matrix in a few more months! and if you are thinking about the filters, I have them, but as this matrix is part of a report showing other features, sometimes final users do not like to use the filters in order to see 'everything at a glance' ...

thank you
