Matrix Color coding for rows

I am using a matrix to show 2 measures based on values.  The stakeholders want Growth to be green and Foundational to be blue. This is no conditional formatting in to allow this so is there a dax measure or something I can do as a work around.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The current version(2.86.902.0 64-bit (October 2020)) really can not set different types of data bars to different colors.

Try @Fowmy ‘s solution or try to find a custom viusal in appsource .

I don't think it is possible but you can apply both Data Bar and Background C-Formatting. Under Background CF, apply the below measure to highlight in Green and Blue

 

CF = 
IF( SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Category]) = "Accessories", "Light Green" , IF( SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Category]) = "Bikes", "Light Blue"))
