Formatting a Matrix

Hi, 

 

How can I format the matrix like the one below in Power BI so that all rows relating to a product have a different background and font colour?

 

Thanks,

Hello there @GJUDGE ! Unfortunately Power BI does not allow us to change the backgroung colour of rows in a matrix (other than with the conditional formating). As such, the solution provided by @PowerBI_guy  is the only work around so far. 

 

If this is a feature that you consider to be crucial in one of the next Power BI updates, please upvote this idea.

You could do this with a measure, though you would have to apply it to each metric within the matrix.

 

 

Colour Background =

VAR _CAT = SELECTEDVALUE(Product[Product Value])

return

IF(
_CAT="Product A","#E2EFDA",
IF(
_CAT="Product B","#FCE4D6",
"#D9E1F2"))

There may well be better ways, but off the top of my head, this would do the job.

Hello there @GJUDGE ! You can format the row headers for your matrix in the "Row Headers" options on the formating pane, like in the image below:
