    Hi v-priyankata , Ritaf1983 VahidDM 

    I have tried recreating the issue , tried a new matrix with other data, tried to do a matrix with the same data .... It was not possible to recreate the issue. Unfortunately I cannot share the file where this matrix with the strange reaction sits as it has sensitive data. It seems as a glitch .... I recreated the same matrix within the same file and it was working ok , I even copied the formatting and the strange bevahiour was not transferred. I even cleared completely the matrix with the strange formatting behaviour and reentered fields and the behaviour insisted! So I guess something stuck somewhere. The funny thing is that the matrix formatting was behaving as expected until Saturday which I reopened the file and without doing anything the matrix formatting had changed... 

    Anyway I recreated table and it is fine now

Hi NasTr 
I tried the issue on my machine and seems that the conditional formatting is ok:

Make sure you are applying the functionality on values, not on categories.

Sometimes the engine takes a little time to respond, and this can happen not only in the latest versions. You can simply try again or close and reopen the file.

If nothing helps, report it as an issue and attach a sample file so it can be checked further.
The pbix woth the examples is attached.
***I tested September 2025 version.
In August it was also working fine, as I use this functionality regularly.
