Hello Team - I have a matrix visual in my report with "Year and Period" on Rows, "Close Days" in Columns and "Count" on Values. I would like to do a background color for a column based on "Close Days" value. If "Close Days" is greater than D5, I would like to color it with a different color. Also I would like to differentiate the values before D6 and after D5 with a line as shown in below screen shot. Please let me know if it's possible.
Thanks,
Phani

Hi @PS_78 ,
I create a table as you mentioned.
Then I use the matrix visual.
I think you can create a measure and here is the DAX code.
Measure = IF(MAX('Table'[Number])>43,"Red",BLANK())
Then you can use Conditional formatting.
Finally you can get the Background color. While Power BI does not directly support adding lines within a matrix to differentiate values.

Hello @Anonymous - Thanks for your quick help. I was overthinking that I should do conditional formatting on "Columns". I tried this and it did work like a charm. However, I would like to color the complete column where Number > 43 irrespective of whether it has values or not. Is it possible?
Thanks,

Hi @PS_78 ,
If there are values in the table, and if they are 0, it can achieve the whole column in the red color you need.
However, in the case of a displayed Blank, there is currently no function to display the blank value in the matrix as the same color for the entire column.
