Hello Powerbi_16 ,
alerts can't be built on matrix tables, also alerts only work on numeric values.

Hi Powerbi_16
PijushRoy Idrissshatila Thank you very much for the help you have provided! Your answers are very helpful!
Regarding your question on how to set up alert emails based on specific data conditions in a matrix table. It looks like you want to monitor the value of a specific column and trigger an email alert when a condition is met.
You can achieve this with Power Automate in power bi service:
Set alert conditions in Power BI:
Open the Power BI report and navigate to the matrix table visual that contains the Week column you mentioned.
Click the ellipsis (...) in the upper right corner of the matrix table visual and select Set alert.In the Set Alert pane, you need to define alert conditions. Since you want to be alerted to data corresponding to "10 weeks," set the condition to trigger when that value is equal to or less than 10.

Use Power Automate to automatically send email notifications:
After setting up an alert in Power BI, integrate it with Power Automate to automate the email notification process.
Sign in to Power Automate and select a template. Search Power BI and select a template to send emails to any audience when a Power BI data alert is triggered.
Follow the template instructions to configure the process, including selecting the Power BI data alert you created and specifying the recipient's email address. For a step-by-step guide to integrating Power BI data alerts with Power Automate, visit this link.
By following these steps, you should be able to receive an email alert whenever your matrix table displays "10 weeks" of data.
