Hello BI Gurus,
I have a matrix visual in my power BI report which displays different data in each columns. On the total row on the bottom, is there a way to customize it? For example, on a column where the data is Yes/No, i don't want to total to show. For "highway speed limit" column, I want to use average. For "# of approach lanes", i would like to use SUM. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Hi, @egrospe17
You can try to control total with a function.
School Buses M =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[School Buses] ),
MAX ( 'Table'[School Buses] ),
BLANK ()
)
Highway Lpeed Limit M =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[Highway Lpeed Limit] ),
MAX ( 'Table'[Highway Lpeed Limit] ),
AVERAGE ( 'Table'[Highway Lpeed Limit] )
)
# of approach lanes M =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[# of approach lanes] ),
MAX ( 'Table'[# of approach lanes] ),
SUM ( 'Table'[# of approach lanes] )
)

Hi @egrospe17 .
You can try conditional formatting your total row.
Learn about it on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C1vpG-JQ9I.
