Disable "Show data point as a table" option

The inability to disable the "show data point as a table" option is an incredibly harmful feature that poses a huge security risk for institutions trying to share out data in an easily accessible manner without also sharing out private data. This problem is exacerbated because this feature isn't visible on the desktop version. It's only after the dashboard has been uploaded online that this option appears. Furthermore, users could easily try to embed these dashboards online without knowing that the dataset can be accessed in this way. This is so irresponsible.

  • Agreed! The "Show data point as a table" is an absolute security issue, Power BI team needs to give user the ability to disable it for every possible visualization.

    Yeah. It's serious security concern and it's taking out the flexibility of enabling "Personalize Visual" as this option exposes the data out of perspectives set in the page. We need a way to disable this. The workaround like adding a measure to Visual can be easily personalized by end user and check the data behind it which is not expected behaviour
