Hi,
I have a matrix table, and would like to format the background color for the row which has Passed = "Y". I though Conditional Formatting might work, but can't figure it out. Any suggestions? Much appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @spagad6263
Afraid not, you can only apply CF to the fields.

That's great. Can I also hightlight the cell of "Y", which is under Passed column? Thanks

Hi @spagad6263
Create a measure to set the background color like this
BG Color = IF (SELECTEDVALUE('DataTable'[Passed]) = "Y", "#0F0")
then you need to create a CF rule to apply the color. This has to be done for each column in the matrix i.e. there is a separate rule for Count and %
