Can a user select which columns to group by?

I'm fairly new to PowerBI so pardon me if this is something trivial or impossible (hopefully not).

I'm trying to create a table where the user can select (e.g. via a slicer list of columns) which columns he wants to see.

The end result should be a table with a series of columns that will later have some measures, but also have client-picked columns.

There is not a straight forward way to do this, but you might have to pivot/unpivot column headers that then feed into a slicer to achieve this. Definietly not straight forward but possible. Other option is to give edit options to the user on the Service and they can add/remove stuff from the report.

Thanks, I'll try to "play" with that idea.
