Keep Row Totals Displayed in a Matrix

Hello,

Anybody know how to make row grand totals 'sticky'?

I want to keep the grand total displayed on the visual so the users don;t have to scroll down to the bottom to see the total, and then all the wway back up to where they were for the detail.

The users don't want to see totals at the top either.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dinesh,

I found that, which is OK, but what I really wanted was the ability to control the column widths that a 'stepped' layout used to give.

Thanks for the quick response though.

Regards

Hi, @David_Evans 

Thanks for DatawithDinesh reply. In fact, the current version of PBI Desktop does not support the ability to customize matrix column width modifications using DAX or other code, only automatic column width and manual adjustments.

Hello David,

 By default the matrix visual should keep the totals in place at the bottom even when you scroll up or down. 

Just make sure that under layout and style your matrix layout is selected as compact.

If it is still not working. Please upload your pbix file we can have a look.
