matrix visual: Style alternate row including the column total

I have a matrix visual with alternative row style. For the total column this alternative row style is not applied. I do not see the option in the settings.  Any idea?

hi,@MartijnNL

       After my research, you can try to do this like below:

select matrix visual ->Format ->Style    to change the style of visual

select matrix visual ->Format ->Values to custom the style of visual

Hi! I tried to mimic this, but it is not working for me. What exactly do you do with the style? For me the alternating colours are still not showing up for the Totals.

Hi @v-lili6-msft,

 

When I turned this off, of course I cannot see them anymore. But that is not the thing I want. I want the same alternating style (white, grey, white, grey, etc) for the column 'total'  not only one color for the whole column 'total.
