Matrix alignment issue

 

Hi All,

 

May I please know if there is a way that we can center align , the Total in Matrix visualization in Power BI.

And I also want the category names in the center of the cell.

2 ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS

Try this path as well then:
Visualizations Pane->Row Subtotals->Per row level (ON)->Subcategory as the Row Level->Show subtotal (OFF).

The subtotals will be off, and the main total will remain.

Hi @han_rj,

To center the Category and Subcategory values:

  • Select the Matrix visual.
  • In the Visualizations Pane, go to:

Format pane → Row headers → Text alignment → Horizontal → Center

To center the grand total row value and label:

  • Go to the Values formatting section:

Format pane → Values → Alignment → Center

  • Ensure you toggle ON:
    • Apply to total

 

If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.

I believe the option you'd be looking for is found at this path: 
Visualizations Pane->Row Headers->Text->Alignment

Here's what that looks like with some sample data: 

Alex_Sawdo_0-1747406266879.png

The total center align should be under this path as well: 
Visualizations Pane->Specific Column->{{Your Value Series}}->Check "Apply to total"->Values->Alignment

No I do not want the Totals in between values, Want the Total to be at the last and I want the Total Word center aligned

Try this path as well then:
Visualizations Pane->Row Subtotals->Per row level (ON)->Subcategory as the Row Level->Show subtotal (OFF).

The subtotals will be off, and the main total will remain.
