Hi ,
Applying alternative row banding in a power bi matrix is proving difficult for me.In a power bi matrix, I was unable to get the above alternate colour banding.
Can you assist me with this?

Hello, Rajulshah
I appreciate your prompt reply.I've applied the alternative background colour in response to your remarks. However, I want to apply all of the rows based on each row's COGS value.
Hello @potlurism ,
First, convert this matrix to table and give your alternating colors.
Then, convert this table to matrix. I was able to do that.
Please try and let me know.

I appreciate your suggestion.
It is focusing on a single dimension and measure, Imagine that you have a measure and multiple dimensions. When "Steeped layout is OFF" . In this case Alternate row banding is not working?
Can confirm row banding is will work on grouped columns in matrix.
