Hi @jcastr02
Unfortunately that the power bi doesn't support to change the background of the matrix or table's header.
Maybe you can try this:
I create a set of sample:
Then create a new table:
Table 2 =
ADDCOLUMNS(
VALUES('Table (3)'[Column1]),
"Y?N",SWITCH(
'Table (3)'[Column1],
"AA",UNICHAR(9989)&"AA",
"BB",UNICHAR(10060)&"BB",
"CC",UNICHAR(10060)&"CC",
"DD",UNICHAR(9989)&"DD"
)
)
The result is as follow:
