undefinedPBI matrix table formatting

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

I am having issues recreating a matrix that I created 6 months ago. Due to major changes in the DB I had to recreate the PBI file.

This is the original PBI file

It has 1 sub total per cost type and a Grand total at the bottom. I did not need to create any measures or write any special queries to accomplish this.

This is the new table, I have duplicated all of the formatting from the original in the new matrix but it is still showing totals for every row and I cannot figure out why this is happening. Any ideas on how to correct this will be appreciated.

This is the

    Hi , BarryM 

    Thanks for your quick response !

    According to your description, you want  just the First Column show SubTotal and Total in the buttom.

    I test it in my side , i think you can try to this .
    We can create a another calcualted column like this:

    Column = RANKX('Table','Table'[Cost_type],,ASC,Dense)

    Then we can put this Column as the first of the field in Matrix's Rows.

    Then we can close all the "Text wrap" in the format:

    And then we can hide the first column in the visual:

      Hi , BarryM 

      According to your description, the matrix visual show the every row subtotal  and you do not want to show them.

      This is my test data:

       

      I test it in my side , i think you can try to open the "Per Row Level" to configure which row subtotal you want to display.

      You can close the row subtotal which you do not want to display in the Matrix visual:

      For more information, you can refer to :

        Hi Aniya,

         

        Thank You for the reply. I have tried that and it did not provide the results I required. Thed First screenshot of the original matrix shows only a total for the 1st column CostType and a grand total at the very bottom for each fiscal year column. The secpnd screen shot is displaying a total for every column in the Matrix which is not correct as only the cost type should have a monitary value for each fiscal year as the first image does regardless of how many items are selected from each of the 3 slicers. I did it once but I am unable to recreate it. It may have to do with the table that the information is pulled from. I think I need to break it up so that there is only 1 reference to any repating values for each BR item. But thanks again for your reply.
