How to create a custom table with variable columns

Hi,

 

I am a newbie on Power-BI. I would like to know if I can create a custom table visualization, something like a report, where my users would select certain columns, and then click a generate report. Then I should be able to show a Viz that has the columns selected by the user.

 

I clearly could achieve this in Tableau. But now, I'm trying Power-BI and curious how to do it.

 

I didn't find this question already asked, if it is a duplicate, please direct me to the answer.

    So what would be the purpose of generating a report rather than just having the users click the Table visualization and select the columns they want in it?

    Hi aarshps,

     

    I don't think there is such an option to do it directly in Power BI currently. 

     

    In addition, here is a similar thread in which some workarounds are mentioned. Could you go to check if it helps in your scenario? :smileyhappy:
