conditional formatting by row level in matrix visual

i want to apply conditional formatting in a matrix for each row separatly instead of comparing all rows along the matrix 

for example, in the image below, for each item im grouping data by month and i want to apply conditional formatting to compare values for each specific item in the selected months but seperated from other items

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please try the below.

I tried to create a sample pbix file like below, and the conditional formatting for the background color can be based on the [Ranking in a group measure].

 

Untitled.png

Value total measure: = 
SUM( Data[Value] )

 

Ranking in a group measure: = 
VAR _grouptable =
    CALCULATETABLE ( Data, ALLEXCEPT ( Data, 'Group'[Group] ) )
RETURN
    RANKX ( _grouptable, [Value total measure:],, DESC )
