The new Filter Pane experience is really nice. However, the count numbers next to the selection boxes in the Basic drop downs can be confusing to users - they can have no relevance to what is showing on the page. Please add functionality to where these counts be toggled off!

RE: Toggle Counts on/off in Filter Pane

These counts are super embarrassing with slowly changing dimensions. "Power BI is saying that we have 10,000 widget types, but we only have 6,000 widget types. Oh noes, the data is not reliable!"

RE: Toggle Counts on/off in Filter Pane

Toggle to display or not display counts and if it does show the count it should only display the filtered data numbers not full dataset value

RE: Toggle Counts on/off in Filter Pane

Please remove the counts, quite confusing to the users.

RE: Toggle Counts on/off in Filter Pane

The count should filter to what is currently displayed, not the full dataset value

RE: Toggle Counts on/off in Filter Pane

There is no easy way to explain the unwanted numbers to our users. I never have this problem with Tableau. Please prioritize. Thank you!

As well, very requested from users in my company.
And if an on/off toggle is set up, please set it hidden by default so that we don't need to hide them all one by one :(

RE: Toggle Counts on/off in Filter Pane

This was brought up immediately, the first time we showed Power BI to users. Please fix this, since this is very confusing and mostly useless.
