Restore Formatting in Matrix

So I spent considerable time adjusting and tweaking the formatting of the native matrix visual. I had to go back and change the Measure/Value column from the Average of A to the Average of B. Doing so wiped out every change I made and reverted the formatting back to default. How do I preserve/restore the formatting?

Hi, @bvy 

 

You need to set custom format for each measure. By default the format of fields/measure is general. If you want to set the formatting for a field, or measure, you can do it in two different places:


1. Setting the format in the 'Measure tools'

2. Setting the format in the Model View

@bvy , put the calculation of B and A and A in B. and Later rename them.

while renaming you need have one measure renamed differently for some time
