Custom Visualization for dynamically adding or removing the columns to a report

HI,

I have a requirement where I need to give the customer a filter to dynamically add or remove the columns to the report. I don't have the control over the data to unpivot the columns and use the matrix visualization to acheive this requirement As, the connection we are using is a live connection (AAS service from which we are connecting to the power bi data sets).

Any work around or custom visualizations available to acheive this?

 

Thanks in Advance,

Raki

Hi @Raki39 ,

Believe that the option you need is to allow users to personalize visuals in a report:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-personalize-visuals

 

With this option active you can have user make changes on the visualization of:

  • Change the visualization type
  • Swap out a measure or dimension
  • Add or remove a legend
  • Compare two or more measures
  • Change aggregations, etc.

 

This can be active at a single visualization level, at a page level or at a full report level.

Hi @amitchandak,

 Thanks you for the response.

 I cannot unpivot the data as the data modeling is done in the AAS. Bookmarks is also not a feasible option as I have 21 columns in report(table view) and adding and removing the columns should be dynamic.
