Hi everyone,
After reading this article https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-developer-community-april-may-update/, I tried to implement the Total and Subtotal API in my project.
I changed the data mapping to Matrix, added the subtotals properties in the capabilities.json and inspected the returned dataViews object in order to find the total property or something like that, I don't know what I have to expect.
Unfortunately, after hours of tries, nothing appeared in my model.
So, I tried your suggested project (Powerbi-Visuals-SampleMatrix) but the result is the same, I can't find anything in model related to totals or subtotals (and yes, I enabled the relevant options :).
Here are a couple of screenshots to clarify my issue:

Thanks,
