Hello Community,
Now I have a matrix, where I want to bold only "First value", "Second value" without changing the font of the other row headers.
is it possible?
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I am not sure if you can bold certain rows, what you could however do is change the "Style presents" to e.g. Minimal and then use conditional formatting for the rows, so that when value = entry, then use centrain background colour so it would stand out.
Hi @Anonymous
Based on the information you provided, the following is the case description: You need to bold certain row headings in the matrix.
I am not sure if your data has a hierarchical structure or how your matrix was created, here are my tests:
Data has a hierarchical structure:
My sample:
If the data has a hierarchical structure, then the row headings are automatically bolded:
Data does not have a hierarchical structure:
My sample:
The effect of bolding the line headings is not possible in this case, here is my suggestion:
1. Create a measure as follows:
Measure =
switch(
TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[entry]) = "First value", "orange",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[entry]) = "Second value", "orange"
)
2. Operate as shown in the following screenshot:
