Group Columns - Profitbase/PowerBI-visuals-Gantt GitHub Wiki

The Group Columns feature in Edit Mode allows report authors to consolidate multiple grid columns into a single collapsible column group. This helps keep your task grid clean and readable by hiding less frequently used columns until a viewer decides to expand the group.

How to Create Column Groups

Step 1: Add a New Column Group

In Edit Mode, click the Group columns tab on the left and click the + button to create a new column grouping.

Step 2: Configure Group Properties

Set up your group identity and choose which columns to group together:

1. Group Name: Give the group a name to easily identify it later.
2. Default State: Choose whether the column group is expanded or collapsed by default.
3. Columns to Group: Click on the column selector to choose which columns to include in the group. All columns currently mapped in your Additional Columns data bucket are available for selection.

Step 3: Set Formatting and Main Column

Configure how the group looks and behaves:

1. Group Formatting: Apply colors or styling to the grouped column headers to distinguish them.
2. Main Column: Select which column in the group should remain visible in the grid when the group is collapsed.
3. Main Column Name Formatting: Apply custom styles (such as bold or color highlights) to make the Main Column header stand out.

Step 4: Save and View the Grouped Columns

Click Save in the Group Columns panel to apply your configuration to the visual.

• Collapsed State: Shows only the main column with a toggle arrow beside it.

  

• Expanded State: Shows all grouped columns.
