Can we create action filters?

[Manar]

I was wondering if I could create a button that wil filter the report if clicked on, for example if I click on it it will hide a specific coulmn in the report. I did something similar using switch function, but it only works on measures.

Thank you

Hi @Manar,

Current power bi not contains any similar actions to dynamic hide columns based on filter/slicer operations, I'd like to suggest you submit an idea for these requirement.

A workaround is to use the bookmark feature. Create a second table which doesn't have the column you wish to hide, and use buttons linked to the respective bookmarks to toggle between visuals.

I use the bookmark feature for all kinds of functionality, ranging from report navigation to clearing filters. It makes Power BI very versatile IMHO.

Hi I was wondering if it's possible to  add a button and filter a report based on that button action, for example when I click on the button it will hide a column in the report. I've done something similar with swithc function but it only works with measures.

Thanks
