It would be great if you could select multiple columns in the data view e.g. the hide multiple columns from the report view in one operation.

RE: Allow selecting multiple columns in the data view

It is crazy this basic functionality is not available as standard! I just don't understand how/why this is missing.

It is the lack of extremely basic functionality like this that puts people of using Power BI over traditional tools.

RE: Allow selecting multiple columns in the data view

Need to add currency symbols to multiple columns & its not possible today whether in powerquery option or on data view option. This is very much needed.

ATM building a R-script to visualize some IoT data from roughly 120 empty columns and 40 full columns. I would love to delete all the columns i donĀ“t need with a simple single option. or hide them.

RE: Allow selecting multiple columns in the data view

Multiple select of columns should be a standard feature and it is more irritating when it shifts all the way to the left.

I agree. And the ability to format numbers with comma separators PLEASE!
