Hi @Anonymous ,

I still have a little confused about your scenario.

Which is your desired output in Power BI?

If is it convenient, could you share the data sample and your desired output so that we could help further on it.

Best  Regards,

Hi @Anonymous ,

There is no such function in Power BI.

However, we could hide the column like that in Excel, please refer to the gif below.

Do we have horizontal collapse and expand functionality in Power BI. In my above picture I wanted to show the functionality in excel using column grouping. In my scenario users wants the same functionality using Power BI.
