@cocoloco79 , In matrix you will not be able to color row or column, But can color values.

Create a color meausre like -if( CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[field],"NNNN" ) || CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[field],"DDDD" ) || CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[field],"OOOO" ) || CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[field],"XXXX" )
, "yellow", "white")

And then use in coditional formatting with "Field Value" Option

Thank you and sorry I'm new to this all.

I have entered this formula but get an error.

Colour = if( CONTAINSSTRING('vdc_EmployeeLog'[Employee_Name],"NNNN" ) CONTAINSSTRING('vdc_EmployeeLog'[Employee_Name],"DDDD" ) CONTAINSSTRING('vdc_EmployeeLog'[Employee_Name],"OOOO" ) CONTAINSSTRING('vdc_EmployeeLog'[Employee_Name],"XXXX" ), "yellow", "white")

A single value for column 'Employee_Name' in table 'vdc_EmployeeLog' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.

Thank you

Hi @cocoloco79 ,

This is a similar post I answered before. Please kindly refer to:

Find if value contains anything from another column

If you are still confused about it, please provide me with more details about your table and your problem or share me with your pbix file from your Onedrive for Business.
