collapse/expand data cell in a column table

Hi,

I have a source table that has a column named "timecol" and this column has a structure type in my source.

Is it possible to create a table in Power BI with a column that can be collapsed or expanded, similar to how it functions in my source?

Hi @XuanHau ,
According to your description, in Power BI, there is no support for implementing collapsible or expandable columns directly in standard table visual objects. But you can try using the Matrix visual object, which enables you to implement hierarchical structures. By default, the Matrix visual object allows the user to expand or collapse the levels of the hierarchy by clicking the plus (+) or minus (-) icon next to the item.
