How to remove value headers without removing total header in matrix?

I have a matrix that looks like this

beans518_1-1719973247217.png

and I want to remove "Store Count" and "Total Session Count" labels without affecting the labels under Total.

This is what I'm aiming for

I tried turning off the text wrap and adjusted the column width until they disappear, but the output looks uneven and off.

Hi @beans518 

Unfortunately, we don't have this functionality, there is an idea about the issue you can vote for it here :

https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=dff9e410-4965-eb11-8fed-281878de77da

As an alternative:

1. you can edit the total on the first row like :

2.( Less recommended) put a rectangle with the background color

The problem with this is that a rectangle is a static object, if the matrix has a horizontal scroll this will be the problem

The pbix with the example is attached

Thank you for the suggestion, that's what I needed! But is there a way to make the white vertical lines make gray as well? It looks like this now.

Unfortunately, you cannot eliminate the gridlines, but you can make them less noticeable by setting the horizontal grid color to the background color.

I recommend avoiding background colors for column headers altogether and instead using the lightest possible background. This is because color is a very strong element that draws attention and can be overwhelming for the mind.

Something like :
