Activate/deactivate column sum automatically?

I created in PBI a simple matrix with various types of selection for the time period.

 

To optimize the table I am looking for a way to show column total only if mininum 2 columns (=periods) are available.

 

Status Quo:

Solution I am looking for:

Is this possible?

Not per se, in a matrix visual either you show all the totals/subtotals or you don't. How I usually handle these cases is through bookmarks.

1. Duplicate the same visual you have but leave all totals turned off. Then hide it with the Selection pane.

2. Then create a bookmark showing the one that does have the totals and hides the other one.

3. Create another bookmark to do the opposite (show no totals/hide totals)

4. Use a bookmark navigator button to enable the switch to the user.
