Matrix Visualization - conditional formatting for rows

                                                                                              Hi Everyone - 

On the matrix visualization, is there a way to add conditional formatting to the rows (first column) ?

Example:

 

Start:

 

StoreJanFebMar
ABC Clothing51012
DEF Retail121416
GHI Food202224
JKL Retail253035
MNO Food405070

 

 

End:

StoreJanFebMar
ABC Clothing51012
DEF Retail121416
GHI Food202224
JKL Retail253035
MNO Food405070

 

Therefore, make the conditional formatting to highlight the background or change the font color for Stores that contain the word 'Retail'.  I know how to do conditional formatting for the values, so how do you do something for the rows (in theory) ?

 

Thanks - Jerry

Hi @jerryr125 

 

Conditional formatting on row and column categories of a matrix viz is currently not supported. It can only be applied to the values section.
