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

How is this still not incorporated? Ease and speed of use continues to give other BI programs the edge over Power BI. It takes me at least 100x longer in Power BI to do these things. Other programs allow me to highlight, make changes, and I can be on my way. Power BI says, "stick around, stay awhile!"

Takes too long to do manually.

RE: Allow selecting multiple columns in the data view

Please make this happen! I have some very large tables that are super frustrating to work through.

RE: Allow selecting multiple columns in the data view

Just taken me 15 minutes to re-format columns - should have taken seconds. How is this more productive?

RE: Allow selecting multiple columns in the data view

Hello,
You want to make the changes in Query Editor (not on DATA mode). You can have multiple fields updated there. HTH

RE: Allow selecting multiple columns in the data view

Super ridiculous to not have the ability to retain the original format upon import to begin with. And to not be able to reformat multiple columns at once, this is double the inconvenience
