Allow a matrix row hierarchy to expand upward (requested by Accounting)
The functionality of PowerBI always expands a matrix downward, with subcategories appearing beneath the header.
Standard accounting format requires that the subcategories appear above the header.
Power BI does allow us to move row subtotals to the Bottom, displaying the word "Total" at the bottom, with the header still at the top. Accounting needs the header name at the bottom instead of the word "Total".

RE: Allow a matrix row hierarchy to expand upward (standard Accounting format)
Okay common its been 5 years... its not that hard to add this feature...
RE: Allow a matrix row hierarchy to expand upward (standard Accounting format)
It's ridiculous how much time it takes to create such an essential enhancement. Please cover it ASAP as it's a must-have for Financial Accounting.
RE: Allow a matrix row hierarchy to expand upward (standard Accounting format)
How hard can it be to add this essential feature? It can't be used for proper Financial reporting with it.

Still waiting for this feature to be available. We cannot move to use Power BI because this feature is missing
RE: Allow a matrix row hierarchy to expand upward (standard Accounting format)
Still waiting for this feature to be available. We cannot move to use Power BI because this feature is missing. Most finance report is having the sum at the bottom (Expand hierarchy up feature), without this we cannot create a finance report that is able to expand up at the same time.We have a lot of users (5000++) wanting to use Power BI but this limitation is stopping us to move the finance people to use power BI.

This option is so basic that it boggles the mind users have to specially request, sign a petition, call their Senate representative and pray to the almighty to maybe, kinda, sorta get it implemented in a few years.Jesus Christ. Working with PowerBI is a never ending quest to find workarounds for the simplest things. I guess making a one-fits-all tool doesn't make anyone's work any easier...
RE: Allow a matrix row hierarchy to expand upward (standard Accounting format)
Absolute must - from a Finance perspective. Is there no workaround until implemented??
RE: Allow a matrix row hierarchy to expand upward (standard Accounting format)
Agree this is so important. Working in Accounting & Finance, they want to see the lowest levels rolling into the higher levels. It seems like it would be a simple option to allow a hierarchy to be viewed top down or bottom up.
RE: Allow a matrix row hierarchy to expand upward (standard Accounting format)
I think this should have far more votes - from everyone using Power BI for Financial Reporting!Presumably a simple feature that could be implemented quite easily, that would have huge benefits for many people including myself and the Finance team I support.
