Matrix, Row headers, Stepped layout feature not working

Hello Power BI Community,

 

I have a matrix...

and under Format...  Row headers...  I turn Stepped layout OFF...

And yet...  the stepped layout remains in the matrix.

 

I downloaded the latest version of Power BI and restarted my machine.  Didn't make a difference.

 

When I toggle Stepped layout between On and Off...  I see it flash...  but it always remains on.

 

Thoughts on this issue?  It seems like a bug.

 

Thank you.  mibu

hi, @mibu

 I have tested on my side, It works well.

Stepped layout is work for hierarchy of values in Rows

For example

when I turn Stepped layout OFF

Be care for the difference between these two screenshots.

Since this is still open, I am facing an issue with the Stepped Layout turned off as well, I have more than 10 columns in this matrix but the scrollbar is not showing to navigate to the last columns, is this expected behavior?

Hi, i'm having the same problem, did you find a solution?

I have to display 4 columns and Steppedlayout off it do nothing.

 

Thank you

In my case I had to create a new hierarchy with the fields I wanted to show as rows, then simply drag this hierarchy into the Rows of the Matrix. You should see all the rows while stepped layout is turned off

Hi,


Turning off stepped just means you remove the heading and the indentation of the row headers, it will still present the data as a matrix. It's basically a pivot table. Stepped: ON is like the Compact Report layout, and Stepped: OFF is like Tabular Form layout.

 

If you want to show values in every cell of the row, you need to use a table visual.

 

A Matrix will also only give you the scroll bar for the COLUMNS/VALUE piece, not the ROWS.

 

If you need to have a table w/ a measure broken out into columns, you'll need to create individual measures for each column you want.

but with a table visual, I can;t have both row and column cells ? For example, if I want data for each customer at week grain. Can that be done by table? I want week to be displayed horizontally?
