How do I remove Grand total and keep subtotals?

Hi,

I'm having problem to remove grand total and keep subtotals in the latest verion of Power BI desktop. I don't find the suitable options under Grand total. Skärmavbild 2022-03-10 kl. 16.34.34.png

For Grand total there isn't any on and off option. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Hi @Regnbagar1 ,
There is a sticky tape solution to this. We can't actually hide the total rows but we can change it's fonts to white. 
Please refer this solution:

considering it is a matrix/table visual, select the visual, then we can go to the Format option, Field Formating:

in Field formatting, click on drop down(as shown in the image) and select the column for whose value u need to change)

after selecting the column, change the Font color of the text to White:

By this way, the values won't be seen/hidden.

Hi @Regnbagar1 - Glad to know it worked. 
For column headers, under the same field formatting, you will see Apply to header option. Click on that.

I solved it by using "Apply to labels" under Grand total. Thank you so much for the help!

Hi,

Thank you for the help. It worked to make the values white. Is there any way you can make the column header white aswell? Skärmavbild 2022-03-11 kl. 08.25.59.png
