Simple/ Beginner Question: Bulk Column Selection

‎03-23-2017 04:06 PM

Hi,

How can i easily highlight/select a large number of columns in power BI desktop (like using Control+Shift+arrow in excel)?  Currently, I am doing this by highlighting one column and then holding shift+arrow and waiting, painfully, for hundreds or thousands of columns to highlight.  There must be an easier way!   Thanks.

 

Jonathan
