I have added parameters to my Power BI report in report builder, but the parameter list is displaying both "All" and "Select all". How do I get rid of the "All" option and why is it even there?

I have found a way to hide a column in the matrix visualisation in Power BI but not in Paginated report, hence question.
In the Design view, you can hide a column by right clicking the column header and selecting Column Visibility...
then select Show, Hide, or based on an expression
To tie showing or hiding the column based on a drop down, create a parameter by right clicking Parameters in the Report Data pane and selecting Add Parameter...
Here are my settings for the parameter:
General tab:
Available Values tab:
Default Values tab:
Once you have the parameter set, go back into the Column Visibility settings, select based on an expression and click the fx button:
Then click Parameters and double click your parameter name to add the expression:
When you run the report, you'll see the drop down and the default setting:
You can then change the drop down and click View Report to see the hidden column:
I am trying to apply conditional formatting to a field of a table in a report in Power BI online.
The report is connected to a dataset that is in MS Teams and continues to function. All existing conditional formatting is unchanged.
These are the steps I took:
Switch report to edit mode
Select table
Select conditional formatting - advanced controls
In the pop-up window, select "Based on Field"
Then, the drop down list is blank and says {{::placeholderText}}.
This can now be recreated in any report, new or existing, where I attempt conditional formatting.
I tried creating a new report from a new dataset, and attempted to add conditional formatting to a table. The same result happened.
I tried signing out of my Microsoft account and signing back in, but no effect.
I was able to get it working by adding ?conditionalFormattingModern=1 to the url for the online editor like this: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/xxx/ReportSection?conditionalFormattingModern=1. (source of idea)
I'm not sure if it will work correctly after I publish the visual though. Apparently this isn't an issue on Power BI Desktop though- so it's probably fine.
Update: Not sure if I'm doing something wrong- but the conditional formatting doesn't seem to be actually applied. It's just that the editor window displays correctly.
I have 2 tables that share a Foreign Key. Power BI sees them as a Many (Table A) to One (Table B) relationship. All I'm trying to do is to get a value from Table B to show up as a column for Table A.
When I look at the table via PowerQuery (using "Edit Query" in Power Bi Desktop) I can see Table B but every row just shows "Value" as it's value. If I click "Value" I get the details of the related object below the table so I know the relationship works.
My struggle is that none of the methods I've seen via google results to get that value work for me.
I've tried using LOOKUPVALUE and RELATED.
RELATED(TableB[ColumnNameImTryingToRetrieve])
RELATED(TableB[IdColumn]
For the RELATED function, every variation I try for the ColumnName parameter either results in the error message
"The column 'TableB[NameIveGiven]' either doesn't exist or doesn't
have a relationship to any table available in the current context."
or the error message
"Parameter is not the correct type".
LOOKUPVALUE isn't even available as an option in the Intellisense options that come up so i can't try it.
I've seen a lot of references about LOOKUPVALUE not being available in DirectQuery mode and that there used to be an option in DirectQuery options called "Allow unrestricted measures in DirectQuery mode" but that is no longer available. This supposedly would have allowed LOOKUPVALUE to work.
Also, when I make most changes in PowerQuery when trying to add the new column I get the error message "This step results in a query that is not supported in DirectQuery mode".
Is there any simple way to get the value I'm after in DirectQuery mode or should I switch to Import Mode?
Okay, I got what I was after. I used "Merge Queries" in Power Query Editor to do a Left Join on the tables. Then I split the table column up that was created by the Join and left only the column I was after.
Then in a third table, I was able to to do:
RELATED(TableA[TableB.1.ColumnINeed])
Is there any possibility to show or hide the column in Table/Matrix visual in Power BI report by user dynamically?
For Example, I have a table view with columns COLUMN-1, COLUMN-2, COLUMN-3. Now I may have filter drop down to list all the column headers, so based on user selection (Multiple selections) Table view should get adjusted to show column values.
Since Power BI was developed based on Excel, curious to know if we are having Hide/Show column based on any condition or available in visual by default (Maybe by right-clicking on column header then show/hide it).
You can do this with the following workaround:
Create your page with the table showing both columns.
Create a bookmark, uncheck "Data"
Duplicate the page and remove the column you want to conditionally hide. Set the page as hidden.
Create a bookmark, uncheck "Data"
Add a button to the first page pointing to the 2nd bookmark
Add a button to the second page pointing to the 1st bookmark
Ensure your slicers are synced
The end user experience is they will feel like they are conditionally hiding and unhiding the column.
A bit crap and a lot of extra work but I have it working well in my implementation.
Currently it is not possible to hide columns in visual based on slicer selection, there is an idea about this issue, please vote it up.

Thanks!
This is now available in Power BI with preview feature "Field Parameter". Check the May 2022 update.
I am trying to build a custom table from three different source tables.
There are three column names, common in these source tables. I want to build a custom table which has all of those records from these tables.
The operation involved here is appending records on the basis of column names in all the source tables.
Here is a copy of what I require
How to do this PowerBI?
I'll assume you have all three source tables loaded into your Power BI Desktop.
Click the "Edit Queries" button in the ribbon...
...to open the Power BI Query Editor (PowerQuery).
Then click the "Home" tab, then the drop-down arrow next to "Append Queries", and click "Append Queries as New":
Select the "Three or more tables" radio button, and make sure all all three tables are listed in the "Tables to Append" list, so the dialog box looks like this:
...and click OK.
It'll create a new appended table, named Append1, that looks like this:
Then click the "Home" tab, and "Close & Apply" to load the new "Append1" table into Power BI.
(If you don't want the "Age" column included, you can remove it before you "Close & Apply." To do that, just right-click the "Age" column and select "Remove.")
