Hi @jostnachs 

Unfortunately, we don't have an option to change the formatting of the highlights for each level of subtotals separately. However, perhaps changing the layout of the matrix could help make things clearer by adjusting the positioning.
For example, this is how it will look with a tabular layout:

And this is an outline:

+ If there is just 1 line in the last hierarchies, you can switch off the lowest level subtotal:
