Repeating Values on a Matrix/Table Visual

Hi All

 

First post here and fairly basic user in PowerBI. I am trying to create a report that is needs to show top level figures as well as the detail below it. Ideally this table/matrix

 

Is there a way to remove the repeating lines against the Columns? In the example below, i only want the detail under column 3 for example and the rest can just be totalled or summarised in a top line.

 

The data is linked through external data sources so cant really play with it too much

 

I can understand why it is doing it but i would rather it did not. Some columns i would need the detail figures but on others just a summary will do. We can easily remove it in Excel but a ready made option will be better!

You can use measures with ISINSCOPE. Let's say the detail level row is Table[Detail]. 
create the measures following this logic:

Remove detail sales = IF(ISINSCOPE(Table[Detail]), BLANK(), [Sales Measure])

Hi @mm8718 ,

According to your description, if you just donn't want to show the blank rows in the column3, you can unselect the Blank value in the visual filter.

Hi @mm8718 , The simplest way I can think of is to apply a conditonal format to the columns you don't want the line level it. I'd a similar need before and this worked a treat for me.

Please accept my solution if it meets your needs.
