Hello,
I have a matrix and I want to color the names of the columns, not the values.
Is this possible?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @imenmaiza ,
Unfortunately, this feature is not yet supported in the latest version of powerbi desktop.😔
You can post your ideas here. If too many people vote, Microsoft officials will consider adding this feature in the next update.

Hi @imenmaiza ,
Normally, each column represents an attribute of a field. In powerbi you can only change the overall column color in the matrix. I would like to ask what is the basis for these judgments on column color for your needs? Maybe the results can be presented in another way.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Best Regards,
Henry
Hello Henry,
Thank you for your reply!
As you said ''In powerbi you can only change the overall column color in the matrix'' .However, I need each column to be colored differently(Different teams).
I have seen this video but it's a table not matrix and can't do the same because I need to drill down to the employee.
