Hi @minhuan 

 

Yes, that’s correct. In Power BI there is no way to completely disable the “Show as a Table” option. Even if you hide the visual header, which removes the button at the top of the chart, the right-click context menu will still display it. Microsoft has made this option mandatory mainly for accessibility, compliance, and transparency, so that users can always see the exact data behind a visual. This ensures trust in the numbers being presented and allows people with different accessibility needs to consume the report properly. The only workaround is if you embed the report in a custom app or portal, where you control what menu items appear, but within Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service the option cannot be removed. In short, you can hide the header icon but the right-click “Show as a Table” will always remain as part of Power BI’s design.
