Table column colors

Hi,

 

I have a standard table visual in Power BI desktop. I used "Specific column" formatting to change the background color of a column.  I also used this setting to align the text to centre. Now I want to return this column background color to the default, no color but there is no option for this.  

 

If I select white, this overrides the alternating row colors.  I can deselect "Apply to values" in the "Specific column" settings, but then my text will default to right aligned and not match my other columns.

 

Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Hi Al_I_W 

     

    Unfortunately, there's no option to select a transparent background from the GUI. What I would do is just use the reset to default which resets the formatting for the column to the default. I know it is a hassle.

    Go to the "Specific column" settings where you applied the background color.

    To maintain the text alignment, under the "Specific column" settings, go to Text Alignment and set it to Center.
