Control to hide column

Hi, How can I setup a control filter to show or hide columns [SaaS-Sales analysis - Build your first dashboard] using the screenshot above, if my user do not want to see “industry field”, they can uncheck “Industry” checkbox and QS will remove that column altogether. I have searched a few thread that it’s possible but doesn’t have any detailed step to arrive at this outcome. Greatly appreciate any advice. thanks!

Hiding unused (calculated) columns

Is it possible on a free-form or classic visual using a pivot table to show/hide the four columns in the group by field well? For example, if the user selects “none” in a control, then the appropriate column is hidden. For example, we have these four controls that drive what field is shown in the pivot area. (The four columns in the group by field well are col1, col2, col3, col4, which are calculations based on the response by the user via parameters) And as you can see, the user may not wan…

Hi @Xclipse, thanks for answer. Unfortunately none of this documentation helped me. If you notice, these first columns don’t have fields selected for them, they just exist for no real reason. They appeared when I inverted the X and Y axis of the visual table

Hi @PedroRodriguezxX

Thanks for sharing! Could I see what the whole visual looks like? It may be a limitation due to the hiding fields but would be helpful to see the whole visual.

Yes it´s possible. Note that the first field below the title is blank, invisible. And this takes up space that is important to me, and I need to make the title closer to the fields I’m actually using

This occurs when I change the axis of the columns. QuickSight simply creates these invisible fields. It’s a table visual

hi @affrantz, the same issues I was facing when I want to plot a table chart. Please find the below the picture.

Go to format visual option then on the pivot options click on the Hide Single Metric [image] Step -2 On the next step go to Header go to columns and then select Hide Column Field Name [image] After doing all the step I am getting the result as , [image] …

Hi @Xclipse , thanks for ask again. Unfortenelly, I can’t match the same visual with pivot tables. If I change axis pivot tables broken all my visual, so I need to use the table visual chart instead. is there no other way to hide this first column instead of the text box with the hidden title chart ?

Hi @PedroRodriguezxX

I’m out of ideas. Sorry, currently this is not possible but I’m marking this for feature request. At AWS, their roadmap is primarily driven by customers. Your feedback helps them build a better service. I have tagged this as a feature request. More features are being added on a regular basis, so please keep an eye on the What’s New / Blog . You can set up a Watching Alert by clicking on the bell icon.

You could look to opening up a case with AWS and see if they can provide a solution.

Here are the steps to open a support case . If your company has someone who manages your AWS account, you might not have direct access to AWS Support and will need to raise an internal ticket to your IT team or whomever manages your AWS account. They should be able to open an AWS Support case on your behalf. Hope this helps!

Thank you!
