Power BI custom visual

Power BI's table forgot the parts everyone reaches for.

Per-column filter dropdowns, sortable headers, colour-scale and data-bar formatting, an automatic totals row, and one-click CSV export — one visual, no DAX required.

What's in the box

Eight things Power BI's own Table doesn't do out of the box.

Every feature below ships in the free build — nothing here is held back for a later paid tier.

01

Per-column filters

A checkbox + search dropdown on every dimension column, like an Excel AutoFilter — no slicer visual required.

02

Global search

One search box matches across every column at once, respecting whatever format is on screen.

03

Click-to-sort

Click any header to sort ascending, descending, then back to original order.

04

Per-column formatting

Set text size, colour and background for every column, or just one — from a single Format-pane card.

05

Conditional formatting

Colour scales and in-cell data bars, table-wide or overridden per column.

06

Totals row

Sums every numeric column over whatever's currently filtered — not just the visible page.

07

CSV export

One click exports exactly what's on screen — current filters, search and sort included.

08

Resize & reorder

Drag a column narrower or wider, drag a header to reorder — both remembered on the report.

Looks

Same six rows, four different Format panes.

Nothing below is a different visual — it's the same data, styled entirely from the Header, Cells, and Column formatting cards.

01 · Default

Out of the box — sortable, filterable, zero configuration.
