hide show as table function

Hello,

 

I am currently working with data that I want to keep partly anonymised from the user when published. I have hidden the names from the visual, but the option to 'show table' when either right clicking or using the 3 dots in the right corner means that anyone can see the underlying data with the names.

 

I have tried to hide/anonymise the names without success, so now I just want to hide the table, to prevent users from accidently accessing the names.

 

Is there any way to complete this?

 

TIA

Hi @cookm01 - Unfortunately, there is no direct option to hide or disable the "Show Data" feature, but you can effectively manage what underlying data is exposed.

please follow the below documents and solved threads:
