Allow visual header control per visual

The March 2018 update introduced visual header control at the report level. Since this is currently an 'all-or-nothing' feature, please evolve this so we can control visual headers on a per visual basis.

This is specifically helpful for slicers - no one needs to drill down a slicer!

I cannot believe they would introduce this feature as an all or nothing. Pretty useless for majority

Much needed feature for sure which is very much appreciated but agree with others on this being visual independent and should be like how we can set up "interactions" so that we can control what visual should show what or nothing at all.

Yes..was excited to see this feature but immediately realized it's not usable given it disables it for everything. Having visual level control is definitely required.

We need to have the capability to show or not show a certain column with in a table or matrix in any kind of visual basing on the role level. Make it available. TheRLS in the azure model has the ability hide certain column, do not see why Power bi can not do this thank you!!

The headers must be controlled on a per-visual basis. They create a significant usabiity issue when visually obscuring information below (on mouseover). They are more problematic when an visualization or visual element is selected and the header becomes a static layer that sits in the foreground, until unselected. In usability tests both behaviors created problems for some test subjects.

In my work I can`t work with power BI Desktop edition. I am working with PowerBI service via API. On app.powerbi.com I can`t hide visual header. Please, add this functionality. Thanks

Seems the ability to turn off the visual header just makes it invisible, it still takes up room. If you have slicers placed close together when one is in focus it covers a section of the one above making it hard to select. Looks miles better but still not practical when space is an issue. Also agree should be available on individual visuals rather than all or none.

I appreciate the update but it is missing an important piece. The export and sort feature are vital and when you turn off the visual headers they are missing. Either adding it to the menu when right clicking the mouse or by selectively hiding the visual headers is a must. Thank you, Travis
