I have a matrix where there is Row header and when we expand row header we get subheader. I want to color only Row header that too different colors for each row value.
Also these color should be only for Row header cells and not all row values.
How can I do it.
| Row Header | Sub header | Value |
| Orange | ||
| Green | ||
| Purple |
As suggested by MASON,it is not possible to do conditional formatting for matrix visuals.if you want conditional formatting for now, then use table visual
Hi @NG1407
Create a calculated column in your dimension (replace Table and RowHeader with your names):
RowLabel_WithEmoji =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Table'[RowHeader] = "Orange", "🟧 " & 'Table'[RowHeader],
'Table'[RowHeader] = "Green", "🟩 " & 'Table'[RowHeader],
'Table'[RowHeader] = "Purple", "🟪 " & 'Table'[RowHeader],
'Table'[RowHeader]
)
-Use RowLabel_WithEmoji as the matrix row field. This visually highlights only the row header cells.
Thanks
It doesn't work. it just add colorname or the color icon infront of row header instead of coloring the background.
If this is Row Header conditional formatting, consider voting it as an idea https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-Ideas/Conditional-Formatting-of-Row-Headers-in-Matr...
