    Add the ability to align the column content in tables, e.g. left- and right-aligned, centred, etc. in Power BI Desktop.

    Please don't forget to implement text alignment in Cards.
    This is an essential feature there

    Is there is any other option to turnoff the row selection in table?

    RE: Ability to align the column content

    I can now align values within a matrix. However, I can't figure out how to center-align the column subtotals. Is this possible yet?

    Would love the ability to center align data in columns in Power BI desktop.

    Please, please give us the formatting capability to align column data. My OCD is trolling me into oblivion without it

    RE: Ability to align the column content

    I hope this is implemented such that "any" text or number shown can be formatted in basic ways i.e. change font, size, color, bold, underline, italics, background, alignment, conditional formatting etc like excel. That would address pretty much all needs one would have for text display.
