Matrix Color Formatting

Is there any way I can format a table as shown below in Power BI.

Closest I've managed to get to is below. Main issue is not being able to format the 1st column (Row Header). Anyway to color that with different colors? Each row is a separate field/measure and property Show on Rows is set to off. 

Using Field Formatting and checking "Apply to Header" is not having any effect on this. Wondering if it's a bug. 

Also not able to find a way to get rid of the row and column outlines. It's showing up despite unchecking vertical and horizontal grid options.

Hi @vickyd,

 

You can turn on the 'banded row style' to apply row style on row header.

This only seems to apply the alternating colors though. It's not applying row color to the row header.

To turn off the outline, Set the outline opnion in Row and Column header as "Capture.PNGnone"
