Hi @Ben_jdc

While it is not currently possible to replicate the exact functionality of an Excel pivot table with user-selected fields in Power BI, you can create a dynamic pivot table-like visual using the Matrix visual and Field Parameters.

I recommend using the Field Parameters concept. This will enable users to select the specific fields they wish to view by choosing them in a slicer. For more information on how to create Field Parameters, you can refer to the following URLs

It's possible to create a dynamic pivot table with the FlexiPivot visual. Browse Apps | Microsoft Marketplace

End users can interact with the pivot table similar to how they interact with pivot tables in Excel.
