Double Header Column Background Color in Matrix Visual

Hi All,

 

I have a matrix table with two headers and all the headers are in red color as shown in the below screenshot:

I want to display different colors so that user can differentiate between Current Month, QTD, YTD etc as shown in the below screenshot: Please let me know if this is possible.

I am able to apply color to the columns dragged in "values" but I need it in the column headers dragged in "columns"

I see only "sum of values" in specific columns of matrix

Hi,  @Krishnan_47 

@parry2k's soulution is better for changing the color of fields in 'Values', not for fields in 'Columns'.

Currently, it's difficult to make custom changes to the background color of the column headers.

For your requirement , you can come up with a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner. https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/

@Krishnan_47 on format pane, under field formatting, select the column, select the color, apply to header color and turn off apply to value and total. You have to do it for each column
