Format Matrix Column based on Column and Row header data

Is it possible to conditionally format a cell in a matrix if the column and row header data are the same.  For example, in the below matrix, I want to highlight the cells where the row and the column intersect, so where the 2018-2019 Peformance Level equals the 2017-2018 Performance Level, I want to highlight that cell.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Don't know how you have your model setup but assuming that the 2018-2019 Peformance Level and 2017-2018 Performance Level are two different columns do the following:

 

  • Create the measure below:
ConditionalFormating = IF(MAX(Table[2018-2019 Peformance Level ]) = MAX(Table[017-2018 Performance Level]); 1; 0)
  • On the Matrix add on values conditional formating with the following options:
    • Rules
    • Based on field: ConditionalFormating
    • Rules: If Values is 1

Should return below result:
