Made a Power BI table visual with per-column filters, search, and CSV export — free, looking for feedback

Made a custom table visual for Power BI, mainly to get per-column filtering into it — the built-in table doesn't have that, and I kept rebuilding the same slicer workaround on every report. So now there's a visual where you click a column header and get a checkbox filter + search, like an Excel table.

Also threw in while I was in there:

  • global search box across every column
  • CSV export that respects whatever's currently filtered
  • colour scale + data bars on the same column (native only lets you use one, and it doesn't update when you filter)
  • pagination with your own page size, instead of an endless scroll
  • one-column font/colour/background override without needing a conditional-formatting rule for it
  • totals row, drag to resize/reorder columns, saves with the report

Free — download it straight from simplyvisuals.github.io, nothing to sign up for. Email's on there too, but that's for custom work — edits to this one, or a different visual built from scratch.

This one came out of a specific annoyance, not a plan to build a table visual. If you've got your own version of that — some Power BI gap you keep working around instead of fixing — tell me about it. I like building fixes for stuff like this and might take a shot at yours too. Check the site for updates or reach out directly.

Feedback wanted either way: what's broken, what's missing, what looks wrong on your actual data. Thanks!
