    The column header in a table should have the ability to be visible or not or the background and font be transparent. When one table visual is overlaid on another the background color of the header blocks the visual it is on top of.

    RE: Set transparency for colors in Power BI

    This seems pretty transparent as a necessity... See what I did there. But seriously, we need this to help render layers visible or not.

    This is an imperative missing feature. Background images are a standard element for graphing, then the graph elements overshadow and hide the images.

    Needs to be addressed soon.

    RE: Set transparency for colors in Power BI

    I still fight with this every day, and it is forcing me to add visualizations to accomplish the equivalent of this transparency. It is a major headache and effects the speed of page loads as well!
