Please add Collapse/Expand buttons in the Matrix Visualizations. Otherwise when all fields are expanded by default the user would have to scroll a lot to find what they are looking for. I could add a slicer to take user to the data they are looking for but then the rest of the data in the matrix disappears and more specifically the overall totals change!Expand/Collapse buttons would keep the overall totals as intended and totals for other fields while allowing the user to only expand the field they are interested in. Also ability to do conditional formatting for a specific field in the matrix would be nice. Thanks!

With our November update of Power BI Desktop, you can now expand/collapse matrix row headers. You can read more on our blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-november-2018-feature-summary/#expandCollapse A few people were asking about column headers. As some of the work involved for column headers is different than row headers, we want to understand how many users specifically need/want column header support as well. If you need column header support, please vote on this idea that I added to UserVoice: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200/suggestions/36038050

Didn't make it to the October 2018 release. Pushed to November 2018. Hoping it doesn't get pushed to December 2018 come November.

RE: Matrix +/- Collapse/ Expand Buttons

Given the pre announcement in the feature summary in August 2018, I expected this feature to be available in the September release. However, at least in the feature announcements of this month, it was not yet available which is a bit pity.
Will it be released in October this year or even later?

RE: Matrix +/- Collapse/ Expand Buttons

I happy to see there will be some improvement on that element, it really needs it...
What I'm also missing is the ability to have more than one element on the row level...

Actually it is only supported :
rowlevel measure1 measure2 measure3....

I need :
rowlevel1 rowlevel2 rowlevel3 measure1 measure2 ...

Rowlevel1 could be a Hierarchy like in the demo, but than I would like being able to show other dimensions on the same row...

Actually the Acterys Matrix visual is able to do it, but not in the PBI design... I think it is a feature that belongs in PBI itselfs

RE: Matrix +/- Collapse/ Expand Buttons

Please provide the ability to give users a choice on which columns they want to see a Total or not. Maybe as conditional formatting for a specific column in the Matrix.
