Matrix formatting

Hi all,

We have a simple matrix visual with two fields (Country, Discount band) in rows and Sales in values:

We have alternating colors (white, gray). We would like to keep this alternating colors in the values areas (Sum of Sales) but have the area with Country and Discount band (in the red circle) in a different color, let's say blue (not alternating).
Is this possible at all? How?

Thanks

Hi @AlB ,

After my test, you can try this way:
First:

Then:

Just set both places at the same time.
Other than that, after testing, there seems to be no other way to set up a separate column header

Thank you

Is there a way to color the area that reads Country at the top of the first column in blue as well?
