Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can use conditional background color in your matrix: 

Measure = IF(MAX('Table'[Column]) in {"Q1","Q2","Q3","Q4"},"RED")

 

Use it in values conditional background color:

@Anonymous , I doubt there is a way. But you can do measure conditional formatting to color

a color measure like

if(isinscope(Table[qtr]), "Blue", "white") , use this in conditional formatting with "Field Value" option
