I only see alternate background color for matrix, why?

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?

 

(I am using the latest Power bi desktop version, it looks very different in other posts regarding this topic).
