Remove format bold text in matrix with stepped layout

[robekr]

Hello,

I have a Matrix showing dimensions on Rows (in a hierarchy), and number in values. I have turned the Stepped layout on, so that I can collapse and expand the rows. When table rows are collapsed the font of the dimension is regular. When expanding one or more row levels, all of the rows on the same level get Bold text.

Is it possible to turn off bold?

I am using the March 2020 Power BI Desktop version

All levels collapsed

Two levels expanded

Expanded

Thanks

Hi   @robekr ,

To my knowlodge this cannot be change, I also tried to play around with a custom theme for tables but did not saw any way to change it.

Maybe you can play around with a JSON theme generator to change that settings, or place an idea on the forum.

Hi this post is old so maybe you have found some solution, but just in case: with some recent version of PBI Desktop, I can control this. 

So for ex before my matrix has the bold rows:

Then in the properties under Row subtotals, you can define the format you want and the last option (Apply to labels) will change also the rows headers:

Note that this changes the values as well in addition to the headers. It seems not possible to changes only headers.

Does that help?

Essentially,

1.) add row subtotal

2.)  Unselect "B" -> to remove the bold formatting 

3.) Select "Apply to labels"

4.) Turn off the appropriate Row subtotals to remove the Grand Total Row 

That should remove the bold formatting from the Matrix Expanded Row Labels. 

Thanks,

Paul

This trick was the best. Thanks for sharing!

This answer should be marked as solution... Thank you 👍

Brilliant. Had same problem and this solved it. I don't actually have any values in my matrix but turning on Row Subtotals, then making sure Values section is NOT set to bold and using Apply Labels fixes the formatting of the Row Headers. Weird but there we go!

Thanks, problem resolved

In my case the "values" section for row subtotals is disabled... anybody has an idea what could be the reasons for this?

Thank you for this!

I agree, this is ugly and unneccesary.  Not even sure what the thinking behind it was.  Did you find a solution by chance or start a forum idea suggestion that can be upvoted?
