Matrix Visual Hierarchy Level Problem
- 6 months ago
Hi anilelmastasi,
Thank you for the follow-up question.
Especially with the number of reports and pages you’re managing. In Power BI, visuals do not automatically get “repaired” after updates because each visual maintains its own internal state and configuration. When a change or inconsistency like this happens, it unfortunately does not get retroactively applied to existing visuals which is why newly created Matrix visuals behave correctly while older ones don’t.
Now, there isn’t a built-in way to bulk fix or automatically update all affected visuals across reports. Recreating or replacing the Matrix visual is still the most reliable approach. To reduce effort, you might consider updating only the most frequently used reports first and reusing a corrected Matrix visual (copy-paste) across pages where possible, rather than rebuilding each one from scratch.
Hope that clarifies. Let us know if you have any doubts regarding this. We will be happy to help.Thank you for using the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Hi anilelmastasi,
Just wanted to follow up. If the shared guidance worked for you, that’s wonderful hopefully it also helps others looking for similar answers. If there’s anything else you'd like to explore or clarify, don’t hesitate to reach out.Thank you.
Hi there, allthough some months went by since this problem was posted, I'd like to share my fix for this issue. It works for Power BI Desktop, maybe it works for Fabric visuals, too. It's a lot easier than re-creating all the visuals. Save your pbix as a pbip version, open in code editor and remove the existing "expansionStates" object from your visual.json. This fix resets the expansion of the matrix hierarchy to top level and drill-down is again working as it should
