When Creating a Matrix all column Headers are aligned left. It is possible to change the alignment. The process is as follows:
Go to formatting > Expand Field Formatting > Select One of the Value fields in the top box > Turn On Apply to Header > Alter Alignment away from Auto.
The last step is required. If Alignment stays on Auto the Headers are NOT aligned properly.

Above process is required for every Value in the Matrix.

My dream is you add the ability to turn on : Set alignment for all Column headers to match alignment of data.

RE: Make Alignment of Column Headers match Alignment of Values in a single step

On a related note, I find that I spend a lot of time on aligning the values of a table or Matrix.The only way I can find of aligning the values in a table visualization, is to go into the 'Specific Column' section in the ( new ) Format Pane.In a table with 20 columns, I have to click about 60 times to get the result I want ( Click on the drop down to select a column, select the column and click on the alignment option I want ).This is by far the most tedious task I have to perform on a regular basis.Can this please be added as a feature? Is there a workaround I missed?
