Do not show the first row values when expanded using matrix

Hi, 

 

How do i not show the first column values of the minimized table of the matrix?

 

E.g

[+] January |  Want blank  |    Want Blank |  Want Blank |

 

It was fine when its expanded, first row is blank.

 

[-] January |  Heres Blank |    Heres Blank |  Heres Blank |

                  |           1         |    6                  |  Yes             |

 

Thanks and Regards,

V

      Hi Amit,

      I want it to be like this, hightlighted row is blank when not expanded.

       

      It shows values when it not expanded.

      Sorry for my bad explanation. I suspect its showing the 'First Value' alphabetically sorted.

        Turn off the row subtotals, it is on by default.

  • Hi there,

     

    I've managed to find a workaround for this. It's not the best but it's a very simple procedure. First of all, you have to know the main colors of your report. 

     

    So you go to the "Cell elements" property of your matrix, enable "Font color" and in the 'fx' button you have to configurate accordingly to your report colors. You set the collapsed value to be the same color as your background (in my example, white) and the expanded to be the one you want for your fonts.

     

    Set the range based on your data (in this case I've put anything between 2 and 40), remembering that for PowerBI this means the total count of the subrows under the main row. The other rule you set to "1" since the count will be allways 1 when you expand the rows (you have to be using two-level matrix to work exactly like above). 

     

    It'll be something like this:

  • I have the same issues nearly 4 years later. Cannot believe they don't have like a "Show Values when collpsed" toggle. It can be very confusing for the user if you are utilizing descriptive data instead of numeric data.

     

    Hope something pops up soon!

      I have tried to find a fix for this issue temporarily , manually expand the + icon for the matrix all rows, go to the setting of the matrix visual , under the row headers, disable the +/- icon to get the effect of having values only in the expanded rows and not totalling out when a user presses - symbol. Hope it helps !
