Color the Row titles based off a specific field
I created a matrix table in power bi desktop. In my Rows, I have text 'Tier x', for Tiers 1, 2 and 3. Beneath each Tier is a specific application. I want to change the color of the application name, in the row, to reflect whether or not it is Tier 1, 2 or 3.
My column values are colored - based on conditional formatting. Is there a way to color the fields under the Tiers? For example, Tier 1 apps would be green, Tier 2 apps would be yellow, etc.
I'm still a beginner, but am happy learning 🙂 Thank you for any help!
Hi niemis
Conditional formatting is functionality that applies only to values and totals.
Furthermore, the headings of rows cannot be separated into different colors.
Alternatively, you can build a measure to give a category, add it to the matrix, and then apply conditional formatting to it.If this helps the steps you can follow:
1. create measure :
subCatvalue = if(ISFILTERED('Table'[SubCat]), SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[SubCat]),"")2. put it as value to the matrix3. Format it based on first level category

Thank you Ritaf1983. I don't know that this would work. I may not have explained what I needed very well. Here's a larger screenshot. I need to remove the row sub titles 'Tier x' and I was trying to color code the data underneath those titles. So anything under a Tier 2 row heading would be green, Tier 3 would be yellow, etc.
As you can see I've got conditional formatting on the columns. I'm just baffled at what to do with the rows. Thank you.
