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 ...

    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:

     

     

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

     

    Best Regards,

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.

    Thanks for your assistance, I managed to find the solution. The problem was with the changes that MS had made to the PBI formatting interface. In previous versions it was very clear where and how you needed to turn the per row subtotals on and off. In the current version we are using setting the per row level is separated into two sections that make it appear as two separate and disparate settings. I was not making the connection between the two selectors. I stumbled across these settings by happenstance while trying to implement some other solutions.
