Hi,
I was hoping if you could add Filter Option in Data View Tab like Excel or PowerPivot. This would make cross checking super convenient

Regards,
Sami

Column Filtering - an essential feature - please.

RE: Add Filter in Data View PowerBI Desktop

Often I turn to Excel for debugging because I do not have this feature in Power BI. Being able to filter columns in data view in Power BI Desktop save me time!

Realizing that Power BI does not have a filter option in Data View is as disappointing as discovering that your brand new 4K TV does not currently support remote controls. Some things are just expected.

Plus ONE... I come saying this for years!... well, that isn't true, but It's surprising that we have got to this point with nobody strongly asking for this, given that we EXCEL fans can't leave without those small arrows! nor without properly fixed panes by the way...

I want Scott to have a happy life as well. Please make this happen.

RE: Add Filter in Data View PowerBI Desktop

Please add this feature. I saw Austin Senseman in the hallway again this morning and all he did was complain about Scott Senkeresty calling him every night in years.

It puts a real damper on my enthusiasm to work. I'm afraid my boss will notice the drop in my productivity, and will eventually fire me.

Then I won't be able to make the payments on my son's college tuition, and he'll be forced to drop out of school.

Why do you hate my son so much that you would do this to him?

RE: Add Filter in Data View PowerBI Desktop

Despite not knowing Scott, I feel his pain. This is frustrating not having this. Do you really want me dumping it out to Excel and filtering there just to look for things? Surely that is as embarrassing for you as it is for me?
