More Matrix (visual) formatting in Microsoft Power BI

The Microsoft Power BI Matrix visual has more features waiting to be unlocked with formatting.  In this Tiny tip, I will show you some of my preferred formatting options.  Specifically, I will show:

  • Changing the Text size
  • Changing the alignment of a column
  • Conditional formatting for a column of values
  • Changing the values to display as rows rather than columns.

The last feature can be a real space saver when you have a lot of data, and it can allow you to have a larger font for easier reading without the need to scroll.
