    Hello mimi1255,

     

    Space utilization is a challenge we have to face while creating BI dashboard/reports and it shall be true for any BI tool, including Power BI.

     

    You can utilize the features available in Power BI, such as Drill mode and Drill up and down can take you to high or lower level of information. Better if your data model is dimensional model, wherein your fact table related with multiple dimensions.

    Other than this, there further more some features, such as drill trhough from which you can navigate to other page (for selected data as needed).

     

    Sometimes, as a report developer we want to give user all the option premade, but it may become too much. You may add some key item as dimension in this visual and allow to personalize the report by user. Later user may add some additonal column or remove not needed ones and view the report. They may or may not save the personilzed report.

     

    So there are such options and you need to find accetable in your situations. Else, as amitchandak indicated, you may choose to keep most items collapsed.
