Surprised this wasn't part of power bi initially. If you have to link fields between tables it's junk we don't need to see.

We use id columns in Direct Query mode to drill through to another page.
These id columns have to added value to the user so we want to hide them.

This seems like something that would be extremely useful....as would easily being able to reorder rows instead of using some complicated workaround.

RE: Hide/Show Column on Table

I am able to reduce the width of the column to a negligible size (but still noticeable with an exacting hover), but am unable to truly hide the column - is there a way to do this? Additionally I agree that, upon export, the hidden column should not be returned in the result set. Our clients have no interest in seeing our key values!

Additional functionality here, if you hide a column in the report, it should not be visible if the data is exported to a CSV or Excel sheet.
