The ability to hide columns for the Report view/Q&A/Quick Insights is a great asset when publishing a Live Report, but this can become very tedious. The ability to bulk hide columns from tables would not just be a time-saver, but would help refine all Reports.

Also, cleaning up Measures can be a very tedious process, and the ability to bulk-edit or move measures would be a great feature.

Ability to trace/highlight columns and measures leveraged in a report is an essential missing component our of Power BI. Need to easily identify what columns, measures, and columns leveraged within measures & custom columns are used across a report / .PBIX.

Complimented with the ability to switch to view the opposite of columns and measures not leveraged in the report, then option to bulk hide, retain, or remove these ancillary columns and measures will allow data models to be optimized and increase performance.

There are 1590 Votes for a superset of this idea in https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/7345565-power-bi-designer-api?page=3&per_page=20

Unfortunately, no movement on it since 2015.

I am so over editing measures one at a time. Please add bulk editing of these.
