Challenge: Power BI tables/matrix don’t support vertical text alignment

[Ignite190]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to recreate the table shown in the image with the same cell‑level formatting in Power BI.
Background colors are driven by values and text should appear centered within each cell.

Power BI tables/matrix don’t support vertical text alignment, so the text never truly sits in the middle of the cell.
This makes it hard to achieve a clean, grid‑style layout like the one shown.

Has anyone found a workaround to simulate vertical alignment.

Thanks for your response but I need vertical alignment not horizontal alignment.

Power BI tables and matrix visuals only allow for horizontal text alignment. There isn’t a built in feature for vertical alignment within cells, so text can’t be exactly centered vertically as shown in your example.

One option is to adjust the row padding or height to help the text look more centered, or consider using custom visuals like HTML or Deneb for greater layout and styling control.

Thanks.

Hi @Ignite190,

I tried to replicate the same in attached .pbix file, i updated row padding under grid to 20 and increased global font size and it looks good to me. (Refer attached file)
