Provide filter capability on all columns of a dataset .

Working on a new PowerBI solution. We have an aggregated table with 100+ columns using data from multiple sources, end users want to build a capability to add/remove a set of columns which will be used for filtering and slicing of data from this aggregated table. How to implement the same.

Hi @subbusn ,

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

You may go to Power Query, add an index column and then unpivot column 'Country', 'Sales', 'Profit'.

 Add an index column:

Unpivot columns:

Then you may use decide which column to display with the slicer in Power BI Desktop.

In addition, field parameters can be used to dynamically control which columns are visible in visual objects

@subbusn 

from what i understood, you need to create a star schema model . this would make it easy for the end user to develop slicers, filters .. .

if my understanding is wrong, please clarify the requirement .
