Hi all
I have created a matrix visual in Power Bi desktop.
I would like change the background colour of the whole matrix which I am unable to do.
I am able to do the color change separately for columns, rows, values etc.
Is there a way to change the background color for the whole of the matrix?
Pls help

Hi @Thulasiraman ,
I have created a simple sample, please refer to it to see if it helps you.
Click the matrix>>Format your visual>>values>>values. Then change the background color, alternate text color and alternate background color.
Finally change the title color.
This is a relatively fast method.
If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide more details.

Hi,
As I know in Matrix Visual, need to change the color and background color for each part separately (Column, Value, ... )
Yes, that's what I am also facing. Need to change the background separtely for columns, rows, values etc.
If we need uniform colours across all the above, it becomes a repetitive task.
Is the Background option in Effects section not catering to your requirement?
No. It changes the background of the visual but not the columns, rows, values etc.
