Vertical Alignment in matrix or table visual
Hi,
I would like to vertically align my text in a matrix or table visual but i cant find how to do it.
The text should be around the black line;
Thankyou
Hi Anonymous ,
Based on my research, it is not supported yet currently. There is an idea about that you can vote it up to make this feature coming sooner.

Dear Microsoft
I find it pretty shocking that this issue is still outstanding to be honest. This is one of the most basic formatting requirements I can think of, I am very surprised Microsoft did not address this during the original development of Power BI, but the fact this remains outstanding is very frustrating.
Power BI is marketed as a world-leading BI visualisation tool, and it is already challenging to win-over our colleagues and business users to move away from their old-faithful trused tools of SSRS and Excel and adopt Power BI so our organisation can have greater governance and accuracy of our data, and basic visualisation limitations like this do nothing to help in that goal.
Come on Microsoft, surely it cannot be such a dificult problem to solve that would justify leaving this outstanding for over 3 years since this was first posted!
Wow, still nothing in August of 2024.
That's really sad.
Come on Microsoft - it would take an intern an afternoon to make this a reality.
April 2024 and this basic, basic feature is still no where to be seen 😞

Hi Frank!
Just want to check, is this feature still not currently supported?
Also, the idea post you provided refers to vertical alignment for textbox. Is there an idea post for matrix/ table visuals?
Thanks!
I also have the same question.
I am using Metrix and I want to align the values in centre which is by default top aligned. I can see there is option to align horizontally but not vertically.
December 2023 and still not solved

NOT SOLVED
There are multiple ideas for this enhancement. Vote them ALL up and maybe Microsoft will get the message. Here are a sampling of what I've found out there.

March 2025. Incredible that MS continue to ignore this very basic feature!
Edit: Yes, I created an account specifically to share my annoyance about this!
MAY 2024... and this below basic feature is not available yet !!
No idea why this is marked as Solved. Still unavailable 5 YEARS later.
This is borderline patronizing. Please only respond with actually helpful comments.
This is the definition of toxic positivity. I hate it so much that I created an account just so I could report your comments. Don't mark something as solved unless it's actually solved.
I cannot believe this basic option isn't available. Also why is this thread marked as solved???
Why is this marked as solved?
There is no solution here....They do that. They class a suggestion to put in a suggestion to PBI as 'solved'. Why do we even have to say it? Vertical Alignment, numerical column widths, ability to format ALL fields in a table at once; being able to lock individual elements on a page. Not all elements at once (used by who, when?). Probably the same guy using a nice gradient of blue as a useful conditional format :), etc. Simple stuff. They keep bringing out new 'features' that you know took hundreds of hours in development, and are usually worse than useless, but they can't fix this? Sorry, PBI rant. Almost a daily occurence now.
