Right now you have to ctrl+click every row you want to select.
It would be useful if multiple selection through click and shift+click was allowed (like in many other softwares).

Of course the same idea would apply for row and column selection in matrices.

RE: Allow selection of multiple consecutive rows in a table using click and shift+click

I was about to add idea, but came across this post. My wishes align...

While using Power BI Desktop Query Editor, it would be nice to have the ability to select one or more rows of data similar to other usual Windows app.  This includes...

Selecting one row by using mouse or arrow up/down keys.
Selecting one row and then a range to a second selected row by using Shift-click.
Selecting one or more random rows, not in any order, by using Ctrl-click.


Once the rows are selected, it would be nice to have a Ribbon/Context option to select...

Remove Rows (similar to Remove Columns) that will remove only the rows selected.
Remove Other Rows (similar to Remove Other Columns) that will remove all other rows not selected.


The Keep/Remove Rows options on Table Context is okay, but the feature described above is more productive and fits with other datagrid-type apps.  Thx
