Coloring column Help

Hello everyone,

 

Hope you are well,

 

I would like to change the color of these specific columns. As you can see it is divided by "Period" and "Comparison" 

 

I want to change the back ground values for "Comparison Column" 

 

Is it possible?

 

Thank you,

Hi @Anonymous 

As tested, conditional formatting and field formatting can't apply to the columns which are added into "column" bucket, it can work for "value".

As a temporay workaround, i insert a rectangle shape on to the matrix, then click both the shape and matrix to add them into a group.

@Anonymous , You can create a color column with the condition and use that in conditional formatting after using "Field Option"
