The recent addition of conditional formatting for values is wonderful. However, it would be great to have the ability format subtotals and totals, as the variation on those fields are often even more important to draw attention to.

RE: Conditional Formatting for Total and Subtotals in Matrices

This is a big need for any financial department. It is important to show red negatives in matrices in order to make the important numbers stand out. The conditional formatting to display negative numbers in red is useless if I cannot do the same for the subtotals and grand total numbers.

RE: Conditional Formatting for Total and Subtotals in Matrices

I know this issue seems minor to MS, but matrices with conditional formating, while not sexy, are widely used. and the conditional formatting missing from subtotals is the first thing the users notice when using our reports
Also, don't forget to add a switch to turn off Grand Totals separately from Subtotals. And please add set column widths.
Thanks.

RE: Conditional Formatting for Total and Subtotals in Matrices

would love to see this implemented as quickly as possible, we have a number of power bi users at bluescope and for reporting purposes will make the visuals tell the story more quickly

RE: Conditional Formatting for Total and Subtotals in Matrices

Hello Power BI team,

I'm really sad that is is still in backlog and has been for over a year. Business users are really requesting this often.

We need it urgently!
A possible alternative would be to create a dax function that returns RGB Collor formatting
