Power BI Matrix Visual can't remove vertical grid lines bug

Hello,

I have an annoying problem I don't understand how to fix. I have turned off Vertical grid lines in the settings but the visual still displays these weird lightblue vertical lines in the column headers, and they seem to only appear at random places... The visual does not look clean with them. Has anyone else seen this and how can I fix it?

 

They are visible in both the Power BI Desktop app as well as the Published Report...

Yeah seems like this behaviour is normal for the table and matrix visual as it tends to show the color of your background so there will always be a light gridline in the headers. 

There is one way if you really-really want to hide it 🙂 You can put a rectangle with the same color as you header and allign it with the size of your header. Also make sure that your matrix visual is on top of the rectangle visual in the selection pane. Here's how it will look.

I like your cheat solution 🙂 It will be alright as it is for now. The lines apear on the alternating colored rows too sadly. Sometimes taking your losses is the best solution.

Same visual bug here, can't outsmart it with the default tools. Probably a custom matrix visual culd do the trick.

Hi @Anonymous, did you try 0 width on vertical lines?
