Is there a way to conditional format the main row of a matrix

So my main row I have as employee name and the values is weekly hours, and the columns are week start date. I want to conditional format employee name that is my I guess first column/ row column so that if they are W2 salaried it is green and anything else is blue. I do not have team class which is if they are W2 salaried, W2 hourly etc. it is a column in the main data, but it is not being reported as a value on this table. The best I did was to create a color table with the distinct team class and create a column with color that corresponds to this and link this table to my main table but I can pnly do this using a regular table and not a matrix like I want. See attached imagaes below.

Hi @apvu2 ,

 

This is not possible out of the box, however I have made a workaround some time ago, that maybe can work but not sure of your needs specifically because of the hierachy part.

It's in Portuguese but in google translate you can check it.
