Hi. I have a pivot with a measure in the "Values", the Month in the "Columns", the Employee, Status and Project in the "Rows". It looks like the table below. With conditional formatting on the measure I can make all the values which belong to status "Done" grey. However, this only gives a color to the values which belong to the measure and not to the cells marked in yellow below. How do I make the values in the "Status" column grey?

No, it was not solved.
Hi @robbert-bi,
This is not achievable in MATRIX Visual but there is a work around if you go for Table visual.
Create a measure that returns a hex color code based on the Status:
StatusColor =
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE('YourTable'[Status]) = "Done",
"#D3D3D3", // Light Gray color for "Done"
"#FFFFFF" // White for others
)
Now you can apply conditional formatting, follow below steps:-

Hi. Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately this doesn't help because I need a matrix/pivot.
Hi @robbert-bi,
This functionality is still not available for Matrix view, you can upvote here for the idea.
Alternatively you can explore custom visuals, If you need full customization, use Deneb (a custom visual in Power BI) to design a pivot-like matrix with full row formatting.
