# Expand/collapse hierarchy

Inforiver provides a number of options to manage hierarchies such as expanding or collapsing row/column hierarchies to specified levels, descendants and more. Currently, in a native Power BI matrix, you cannot expand or collapse columns freely as you can do with rows. 

With Inforiver, you can expand/collapse specific columns to reveal their children, just as we can do with the row hierarchies in the native Power BI visual.
