Format Matrix Grand Total like Row

How can I format the final grand total value like the rest of the row (dark blue, white text)? Is PBI Matrix missing this ability? It seems like it should be a basic function.

Interesting, it indeed seems harder than it should be to format that specific cell, because it is treated as part of the "Column grand total".

I could only get it working by coming up with some awkward conditional formatting measures and applying them to Totals only:

Total Background Colour = 
IF ( 
    NOT ISINSCOPE ( Account[P&L Level 1] ),
    "#0a3b6f"
)
Total Font Colour = 
IF ( 
    NOT ISINSCOPE ( Account[P&L Level 1] ),
    "#ffffff"
)

Does this work for you?

 

Update: I saw @Uzi2019 's post just appear - so there may be a simpler way.

Hi @than689 
There is option on column Grand total 

Uzi2019_0-1713867905974.png

 

You can put same formatting as you have chosen  color for values of table.

Or you can select specific column formatting option

where you can set all values/ header/ total color and background same.

I hope I answered your question!

Thanks, unfortunately I don't think this solves the requirement to format only the final value (20,691,462 in your example)
