Matrix format column group header

Hi,

 

I've seen variations of a solution for this, but nothing that specifically addresses this issue. Any help would be much appreciated!

 

I have a simple matrix:

This is the data:

 

I need to set the background of the "First Time" group to blue and the background of the "Returning" group to yellow.  I can use the Cell Elements formatting to set the background color of the values, but it does not apply to the column header or column group header.

 

 

How can I conditionally set the column headers and column group headers so it looks like this?

    Hi, joyhackett 

    From my understanding, you can modify the header color individually through the Specific column. Please note that this is manual.

    I thought of a possible solution. You can try to put a text box/rectangle with appropriate transparency on top of the Matrix, and set the conditional formatting color of this text box/rectangle to achieve the effect you want.

    Hi,

    As far as I know it's not possible to do it as you want.
