Background color in Matrix visual

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.

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.
