Imported entities from Dynamics CRM. And now so many columns that are not going to be of value in a report , am removing or hiding one by one. It is so time consuming...also accidentally hit "unhide all" and lost 2 hours of work, as there is no undo setting for this available.

Hi, vote for this feature as well. It's not rational at all to hide columns one by one.

'This was driving me crazy but I've found a quick workaround which only works if the columns are next to each other: - Hold down SHIFT and use the keyboard arrows keys to select multiple columns. - Press SHIFT + F10 to bring up the menu to hide the columns. Still not ideal but hopefully it will save someone a bit of time.

This would be good for applying format types too.

Just spent over 30 minutes deleting fields. Power BI should make creating reports and dashboards easier and not more tedious.

it is so frustrating to have to make 3 mouse clicks for every single field i want to hide in my report. please allow Ctrl+click to select multiple!! it is just an intuitive thing to be able to do... surprised it still hasn't been addressed.
