Differential matrix cell background

Just starting with Power BI and am looking to use it to replace some existing daily reports.  One of them has different color backgrounds for column headers (two rows of headers, each with different background colors) and another color for the data cells.  Below is a snippet of the current report:

 

 

From my quick poking around, I don't think this would be possible in Power BI.  I'd love for someone to tell me it is! 

 

Thanks,

Pete

    i dont think its possible to group it by gender like that, not with any of the default visuals that i know.   You can play with the field formatting and conditioning formatting in these visuals you cannot group by a different values of a category.

    HI GoofyPete,

    AFAIK, conditional formatting feature seems not able to apply to matrix column headers.

    For this scenario, perhaps you can submit an idea for this requirement or try to use script-based visuals(e.g. r, python visual) to manually plot these graphs with custom color formatting.
