I am new to AX2012 and need to add product names to the InventoryValueReport in ax2012. I am trying to use a checkbox on the setup form but I'm just not sure at how to code the method to display the names on the report when the box is checked. Can anyone assist me?
If the ssrs report layout will support it you can set the visibility of a column based on an expression based on the added parameter.
Steps:
( How do I set the visibility of a text box in SSRS using an expression? )
In this example, the report has a dataset named Items and has textbox to show row counts. It also has another textbox which will be visible only if the dataset Items has rows.
Right-click on the textbox that should be visible/hidden based on an expression and select Text Box Properties.... Refer screenshot #1.
On the Text Box Properties dialog, click on Visibility from the left section. Refer screenshot #2.
Select Show or hide based on an epxression.
Click on the expression button fx.

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:
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.

This is now available in Power BI with preview feature "Field Parameter". Check the May 2022 update.
Wondering if there's a way to make a text bubble show up when the user hovers over a metric in a Power BI report.
I have tried using alt text, but that does not show up anywhere.
I had the same problem just now, and the documentation page Create tooltips based on report pages in Power BI Desktop describes how to do this. Probably this functionality was not around in March 2018 (when the accepted answer was posted).
Steps
In summary the steps are as follows (assuming you already have a visualization):
Create a new page, name it Tooltip 1
On the Tooltip 1 page, go to Format → Page Information and switch on the Tooltip toggle
Go to Canvas settings and set the Type to Tooltip.
Create a text box via Home → Text box, fill it with the text you want to show when one hovers over your visualization.
Select your visualization
Click on Format → Tooltip
Set Type to Report page
Set Page to Tooltip 1
Now when you hover over the visualization, the text box from step 4 will be shown.
Additions
You can mark the page Tooltip 1 as hidden, such that it does not show up as a tab on your report.
You can also customize the tooltip size by setting the Page size of the tooltip page to Custom with suitable width and height values.
As described in the link, instead of text you can also create a whole visualization.
Currently, I don't think this is possible natively.
There are some ideas related to this that you can vote for:
Custom Alt Text (tooltip) On Hover Over Any Visual
Tooltip for Matrix visual (and others)
Tooltips for Tables
There is also a Dynamic Tooltip custom visual that you might be close enough to what you are looking for.
You can use a transparent shape as an overlay on the text you want the hover over test to appear on
Turn Action On
Type Page Navigation
Destination None
Tooltip - Add the test you want to display on the hover
I have been trying but I cannot edit rows. When I click the pencil icon near any row in the interactive report, I want it to take me to a separate page where I can edit the rows and update the table.
1st Step
First create a blank page
Add all those items to the page which are in the table
Add source for each items as sql query i.e Use select statement with condition.
Add an update button so that changes made are reflected to the table(You have
to use the update query by giving primary key of the table in where condition).
2nd Step
Go to the interactive report page and edit the region
Go to column link
click on the pencil icon in the left side
use your blank page no as the page to be redirected to
below you will find some blank rows as Items and Values
In Items select the item which you want to use in the where condition and value corresponding to it.
Apply Changes.
DONE
Try this.
1 - click on "Create Page"
2 - select "Form"
3 - select "Report with Form on Table"
4 - Fill the rest of the wizard
After you made this, apex create a report and when you clik on a pencil you can edit the data and save.

Is there a way to include a collapsible text in a Power BI report?
The purpose would be to add text into the report (essentially explanations for the user on the data and the methodology), but without the text being allways present and taking real state. Right now I elaborate separate documentation on the reports but it could be more effective to be able to have the text appear right when the user needs documentation in the report.
I would add the text as either a Multi-Row Card, Table or Long Text Viewer (Custom Visual).
Then I would reduce the frame size of that object to show just the first line of text. Users can click the Focus Mode button to expand the visual to a full screen view.
That text might event say "Click the Focus Mode button (top right) to expand ...".
