Row background color change from one source in a Matrix based on the value of another data source.

Hi there!

 

I'm really flustered and hoping someone can put me on the right path.

I have a matrix that visualizes 1 data source but also linked to a column of another data source.

 

In a matrix you can't use Color Formatting for the Rows. But I need "User Name" row to highlight a user red or green based on

if there is a value in the Date completed column of the second data source. The Common link between the 2 sources is their User ID.

Please see my Image for reference.Color Format for User Name.jpg

Hi @EWBI ,

 

To my knowledge, there is no option available to apply conditional formatting to Row/Column fields in Matrix visual:
