Hide/show complete columns in table view (not column values, not action but filter)

[stuggijo]

Dear AppSheet team,

would be great to have the option of hiding/showing chosen column through a filter button (not through conditional hide of a specific column value, not throgh an action (like the link to filtered view)).
The solution through “go to filtered view” costs much time and does not allow to go back without coming bck to the previous view.
The solution of “show if” of a single value of the column filteres only the specific value, but does not hide the whole column. So in the table view the column itself is shown, but without values.

Filter out specific columns (like rows) would be great! Especially to be able to create specific filtered views of a table.

Thank you much!

I would consider this is a bug. The power of appSHEET is that it allows companies to control and display their information. Considering most apps utilize table view, the show/hide COLUMN setting should really show/hide the COLUMN in the table view in the APP.

I have also just run into this issue. I can't understand what the utility of showing an empty column is, while revealing the header, and taking up space in a table. 

If you want to hide or secure the contents of a column while still displaying it, other methods exist already.

Please make Show_IF hide the entire column.

The same here. I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to solve this until I came to this forum and discovered many people with the same problem.

Have a list of patient laboratory tests with many empty values that would look ugly without this option.

The ability to hide empty columns is very necessary!!

Mais um que precisa dessa funcionalidade! Meu cliente precisa visualizar dinamicamente suas tabelas. Precisa dessa funcionalidade de exibição dinamica de colunas.

Alguma previsão para implementação?

+1 for this feature as well.  Thanks.

To clarify in my case, it's when I have a child ref table as part of the parent table.  When I'm in the Detail view of the parent record, the child ref table returns the related rows as it should but should only show columns that are not empty for rows.

For example, a table shows what a user subscribes to and how long.  A user wants to subscribe to a service for products A and B.  A subscription is 1 year, B subscription is 2 years but either can have a max subscription of 3 years.  Since neither subscribed in Year 3, the Year 3 column should not be displayed.

Like others already stated, this feature should have been originally implemented in the app. Its counter-intuitive that the build-in "show if" expression only hides displayed values in a column, and there is no way to hide entire columns under certain conditions.

Absolutely necessary function. Please add ASAP!

+1 to this feature.

Would be a terrific improvement to app development! As we wouldn't need to create multiple slices only to select columns.

+1 also to waiting list of this feature to be added
