Matrix missing "Alignment" option for fields or Column Headers

I am using a simple matrix with Month (text) Columns and Year (Integer) Rows and a decimal value for Values.   There is no "Alignment" option anywhere under Field Formatting or Column Headers.  I am trying to get my values and headers to center align and I know I have done this before with a matrix but there must be some prerequisite to this alignment feature being available because it's sure not showing up now.  Anybody have any suggestions?

@alogan ,

 

I'm not able to reproduce your issue. The alignment can be changed in the column header formatting section as below:

Please update power bi desktop to the latest version and check if this issue persists.

There an an alighment option under column headers and there is one under field formatting for each value.

 

If this helps, mark it as a solution.

Yes VasTg there is sometimes.. but there's not now. It may have something to do with what data types I'm using?  I know different features are available or unavailable dependent on data types, categorical/continuous x axis or whatever so maybe there is something I am needing to adjust elsewhere to make this feature appear.  As I mentioned.. I HAVE used this alignment feature before but not sure what is different now that is not allowing that feature to be usable.
