Hack solution - just make all the font the same color as the background. Not the most elegant solution but looks way better than all the subtotals.

Agreed, the Excel functionality for the subtotal customization should be implemented, right now the Matrix is not usable with several lines of non-descriptive subtotals. I am really surprised that Power BI is a Microsoft product yet they took several steps back from the functionality already implemented in other products they provide.

I would like to have the ability to remove total for specific columns. Right now, the totals are shown for all columns (when property 'General -> Total row' is set to 'On').

I like to use the Matrix because of the formatting. I do not want to subtotal on every column. The report is messy with multiple total lines with same number.

Agreed - very annoying not being able to control what you want to total and what you don't want to total - looks horrible with 3-4 columns all trying to total. End up with 4 total lines in a row with the same number

Please add the ability to turn off sub-totals at different levels of the Matrix reporting. My users ask for multiple columns in a matrix but they do not want a sub-total for each column. For example they want Customer Number and Customer Name but they only need one total for the customer. Or they want Part Number and Part Description but they only want one total for the part.
