Am I able to format as I've indicated in my mockup?

I have a table object, similar to the one displayed below. Ultimately, I want to be able to export filtered data from this table, so I don't want a matrix object (please, no teasing).   🙂

 

I would like the same background color for all of the consecutive rows that have the same value in the left-most column, and have the background color transition/alternate when the value transitions.

 

Avoiding crazy DAX to accomplish this is preferred. 

 

Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

According to your description, I made a sample and here is my solution.

Create a column to rankx the left-most column.

color =
RANKX ( 'Table', 'Table'[Column1],, ASC, DENSE )

This will distinguish the consecutive rows that have the same value.

And then you can set conditional formatting -> background color for your left-most column.

Final output:
