Power BI Matrix visual child row background formatting

I would like to know if it is possible to format the matrix visual to look like the screenshot below.

Under an item, subitem background should have the same background color. I can't seem to get it to work, i can only do it (conditional formatting) for the "Values", I want to have the same background across all columns.

Thanks for the quick response. I was browsing the forum and found a similar question Solved: Matrix row background colour dependant on hierarch... - Microsoft Fabric Community.

The question was asked 3 years ago, there is a screenshot in the post that showed it was possible in the Matrix visual. So, did it ever work in the past? If it did, what is it not possible now?

The response provided a couple of links, one of the links does not exist anymore, and one does not even list the steps.

@ponyo_pankun It was never possible and I don't think anywhere in the post it shows if it was done in the past.

@ponyo_pankun unfortunately this feature is not available, you can do conditional formatting for rows in Table visual but not in matrix visual.
