Name_meas = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE (Table [your_first_column_for_ex_ID] ) <> BLANK(), SELECTEDVALUE (Table [Column_that_need_to_see]) , BLANK() )

Hi,

Thanks for various solutions. But I found a direct option to do this.

In the matrix visualization format -> Feild formatting -> select the feild you want to hide the total and change the color of the font as same as background. Make sure to toggle ON the "Apply to total" in same Feild formatting section. The text/value will get blend into the background, thus hiding it from user.

Thanks

What I think you should do and that works for me is this.

- Select the matrix table,

- go to format and under the visual setting,

- select specific columns

- select the column you want to hide from the drop down

- enable Apply to total

- Change the color to the background color and you will be fine.

 

Please if it works for you click thumbs up. Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous,

use the format options for the subtotals:

@Anonymous I guess these text columns are using aggregation like first or last value, you need to create a measure for each column and then use HASONEVALUE function on the column you have put on rows

Text Measure = 
IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Table[Columnonrow] ), MAX ( Table[TextColumn] ) )

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
