Hi,

In Power BI, conditional formatting in a matrix visual only works on values in the Values area, not on fields that are in the Rows or Columns areas.

 

If you need a workaround, you can add a custom column referring to this post

@lynnma  did you check the formatting pane, also check the data type you are formatting.
