Conditional formatting in a matrix for whitespace analysis

If we are selling a certain product, we may be unable to offer another product/service line.  I would like to format fields in a matrix based on text in other fields; please see the image below.  This was built using a product column and a client column, the X represents products the clients have purchased.  I want the product fields that we cannot offer to be grey. Is it possible to recreate this in PBI?

Hi @djoellet ,

 

Based on the information provided, your conditional formatting measure would go something like this:

conditional formatting =
VAR __PROD =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( data[product] )
VAR __PROD_A =
    CALCULATE ( [my measure], data[product] = "A" )
VAR __PROD_B =
    CALCULATE ( [my measure], data[product] = "B" )
VAR __PROD_C =
    CALCULATE ( [my measure], data[product] = "C" )
RETURN
    IF (
        (
            NOT ( ISBLANK ( __PROD_A ) )
                && __PROD IN { "B", "D" }
        )
            || (
                NOT ( ISBLANK ( __PROD_B ) )
                    && __PROD = "D"
            )
            || (
                NOT ( ISBLANK ( __PROD_C ) )
                    && __PROD IN { "D", "E" }
            ),
        "gray"
    )

 

Replace [my measure] witht the actual measure you use for X and gray with another color or hexadecimal code. Gray's hex is #808080 but it may vary depending on the hue you want.
