Row header Background Color Matrix

[v_mark]

I do have a standard Matrix Visual with Months and corresponding value per product. See sample.

My dillema is I wasn the row headers to follow a certain background color like for example. 
Jan is red, Feb Blue, March Green and so on.  Unfortunately it only work in values.
I was trying to look for any workarounds. I know InfoRiver has this option but it a paid service. 
Is there any existing workaround out there? TIA

Hi @v_mark 
Unfortunately, we don't have this functionality with a matrix, only with a table.

There is an idea about this issue , you can vote for it :

The alternatives that can be considered :

1. Use a table instead of a matrix and create a measure for every country, if the countries should have the option to be filtered, you can use field parameters.

2. A static alternative to put rectangles under the matrix with conditional formatting, that will have colors only if the value of the specific month is not blank (a little dangerous because every move of the matrix can destroy the construction, rectangles are static objects).

P.S

From the perspective of effective data visualization, coloring each row in a table with a different color not only does not provide any benefit, but it also interferes with the reader of the table. Our brain perceives color much faster than it relates to shape, and in addition, colors have meaning, so it will also try to decipher what you wanted to say with those colors according to the associations it is used to. Therefore, it is strongly discouraged to use this method. If the goal is to highlight the difference between months, this can be done using the grid ans padding, as shown in the image.
