Hi all,
I have used matrix visual in a page. When I used that for first column the alternative colour are not showing.
For eg:I have added three field in row and other in value field.For first column it does not showing alternative colour as showing in other column. So please suggest me to sort this problem.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Sujith12345 ,
Is your scenario like below?
When "Stepped layout" of "Row headers" is Off, and Matrix is not on the first level, the first column not show background color.
If so, to my understanding, this is by design. The alternative colour is based on the smallest level and applied on single cells. It cannot be applied on "merged" cells.
Best Regards,
Icey

@Sujith12345 , Once add any values/measures with Row in matrix, it should show alternate color (as per style) . It should not stop based on a column.
Can you share some screen shot.
