Ability to expand selectively on column headers

Is it possible to expand specific column headers. In case of row headers we can use +/- to expand and collapse specific elements. I would like to do something similar for columns.

 

I understand there are no options for the same currently in power bi desktop, but is there any work around for this.

 

My specific use case is this. We have a report which has week level data and we want to expand most of the times only the most recent or 2 most recent weeks to see day wise. But currently either i have to expand all weeks not just the ones i want and see the data which increase the amount of data on the screen or filter my required weeks and then expand. But both of which are not meeting our requirements currently of selectively expanding data points.

Hi @ramanathans ,

 

I think you may want this function: Drill down and drill up in a visual.

 

Please kindly refer to:

@ramanathans The only other option I can think of besides those you have mentioned is to write measure specific to the columns you are trying to display. So if you wanted to show 5 columns like

  • Sales This Week
  • Sales Last Week
  • Orders This Week
  • Orders Last Week
  • Total Customers

You would write measure to give you the specific time period you are looking for. 

Sales This Week = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Sales[Amount] ),
    DATESBETWEEN ( Dates[Date], TODAY () - 6, TODAY () )
)
Sales Last Week =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Sales[Amount] ),
    DATEADD ( DATESBETWEEN ( Dates[Date], TODAY () - 6, TODAY () ), -7, DAY )
)
