I can’t seem to do something very basic as selecting the background color for a matrix.
I see only this option:
(I don’t see any option for conditional…)
I want my matrix to have the first 5 rows (or columns) yellow background “fixed”, and all the other rows to have white background.
Like this: (without the alternate)
(the visual is hard to navigate, that’s why I want a fixed background for the first 5…)
How can I achieve it?
