Hide column in table in v8.0

[mikequentel]

• How does one hide a column in the table panel via the user interface?
• using Grafana v8.0.2 (5c5d45e19f)
• This question is like Hide column in table v7.0 but v8.0 appears to have a different UI.

Table: Ability to hide fields but still reference them in data links

[mikequentel]

Solution (work-around)

• This solution works, even though it is a work-around. Be sure to not have other windows of Grafana open when trying to save the panel and dashboard, otherwise the changes might not persist.

1. Select panel title → Inspect → Panel JSON
2. Set “type” to “table-old”
3. Apply
4. The visualization should now appear as Table (old) and in the right side will appear Column Styles
5. Column Styles → Options → Name pattern set the name of the column to hide
6. Type → Hidden
   

Many thanks to @codlord for mentioning the “table-old” solution

Use transformation named “organize fields”

Many thanks @torkel

Would using Transform → Filter by name also be an acceptable solution?

Need to keep this issue open.
The solution to revert to Old Tables in Grafana 8 is a kludge to give the simple capability to hide the time Y-axis.
This gives plenty of cause to roll back to Grafana 6 and stay there.

Just filter by name don’t stay consistent. Whenever I change time range from top right, filters get disturbed. Do you have example of regex can be used in transform > filter by name?

There is a new override called “Hide In Table” that provides for a toggle. Allows you to still use the data in the column without having to set the size to “0”.
