Hi, @unais
As far as I’m concerned, to disable only particular Rows of expanding in the Matrix in Power BI, the only way is to change the data source to delete the data related to this group.

If you have an idea about this, you can go to the Power BI Idea to submit a new idea so that people with the same idea can vote for you. I will also vote for you.
Thank you very much!

Do you by any chance know if this functionality have been implemented since you posted that information?
I happen to be in a situation where it would be very beneficial to lock some rows as not expandaple and some as always expanded.
@unais you can either swich off the +/- hiearchy icon for all or you can have it for all. There is no option to have it only for selected items. any items which has a below hiearchy value this icon will appear against that value.
to remove the icon for all under the row header section, you can change below settings.

Two years have passed and many versions has been cerated since 2021. Is it today possible to disable expansion of certain rows and force expansion on others?
For example, I know the sum is correct in the first row here but that if it is expande the subrows will not be correct:
It is also a fcact that the subrows of the second row are interesting to the users but not in the first.
I cannot change the source data but I would like to provide this data to the users without confusing them with the expansion of the first row. Is that possible?
Hello,
You can use Switch True to define those groupings you do not want to expand. Here is a sample of the dax code:
