Enabling customized calculations at the query level for subtotals and grand totals would offer greater flexibility in reporting and preserve performance. Efficient organization of control settings to modify the style of these totals separately will empower report creators to achieve their desired appearance, while addressing their need for more control and customization in reporting.

I was asked in an interview what I thought Power BI was lacking, this is a great example of the type of basic formatting controls we need. Great product, but sometimes leaves you scratching your head. Please implement as soon as possible.

Total column is the most critical but it fades into the background when other columns include conditional formatting and total doesn't. Goes completely against the purpose of visualizations.

Yes please - Power BI does so many other amazing things, but something like this is missing? :(

Yes please! Bit of an oversight not to include originally... looking forward to seeing it soon - hopefully!

RE: Epic idea: Custom totals for tabular visuals

I agree with Anonymous. I think it's even harder to program not to have conditional formatting on the totals...

RE: Epic idea: Custom totals for tabular visuals

It is inconsistent to have conditional formatting on the data rows but not on the totals rows and is likely to cause confusion.
