Hide a column in a matrix
Hey there,
I am deeply sorry to post this issue, wich has been solved many times but the solutions proposed don't work with me...
I created a measure to calculate the evolution of 'Mandat' (basically an amount of money) from 2016 to 2017. So obviously the measure returns 0 in 2016, since the evolution of 'Mandat' between 2016 and 2016 is...0.
Thus I'd like to hide this column for the 2016 year, so I tried to use a 'IF' formula to hide it when it returns 0, I tried to drag the column but it unhides itself, I tried to use a filter to only display value different from 0... No one worked.
Any help would be appreciated ! Tanks :)

I just tried this and works for my end. Essentially, you can unselected the "Word wrap" feature for the "Values" and "Column headers" for the Matrix and then manually resize that specific column you want to hide to collapse it. Hope this helps. Feel free to let me know any questions on this.

I would really love to see a solution to this also.

Hi tdurieux,
There is no such an visibility option that supports to conditionally hide/show column in Matrix. One option is to hide or show the values in the column by creating measures, but column headers are still appeared even there is no data.

Regards,
Yuliana GuPut the column you want to hide and the end of your matrix.
In the field formatting, give the column the same colour as the background, apply also it to the column header and total.
I have done it with a calculated column with a row title of 1 character and values 1 and 0, so the column is small in the view.
