How to add background color to multiple measure columns in a table/matrix?

I have a few measure columns being visualized in a table:

How do I color multiple columns, not conditionally but just color coding them for easy visual association?

 

I see there's a visualization "cell element", as well as the "specific column", but both only applies to one column:

Hi @guh950, you can specify which measure to apply formatting on individually, or apply to all fields. You would have to go 1 by 1 to color them separately.
