I have a Matrix with 2 rows and a Total Row:
Americas ###.#
International ###.#
Total ###.#
I want to change the label of the Total row from Total to Global. How do I do that?
Also, is it possible to add conditional formatting to the Total row?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @WelterM,
Sadly, there is no way currently to change the Total row label.
It's a great idea, though. I encourage you to add it to http://ideas.powerbi.com.
Conditional formatting doesn't apply to Table Total row or Matrix Subtotal/Grand total row(s) because it operates over the range of values for the most specific (grouped) data points, which are the non-totals.
