Remove format bold text in matrix with stepped layout

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

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

    Click on row total (make sure to enter at least one value, not just row) and then go to row subtotals >> values ​​>> unbold and click apply to labels.
