Hi nj17

 

I do not work for Microsoft, I just volunteer to help answer questions.

Sorry - the standard matrix visual does not allow row conditional formating.

You could consider searching for a customer visual that does.

 

Please click the Accept as Solution button and thumbs up button.

I have answered your question correctly, albeit it might not be the answer you wanted.

How it works ....


The DAX measure is set to Grey if the visual cell is at level 3.
If there is level 4 or 5 then you need to set that to blank, because they are filtered within the 3 hierachy   

 

Level RAG =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
ISFILTERED(Sales[Level4]), BLANK(),
ISFILTERED(Sales[Level3]), "Grey")
 
then in conditonal fomating set the
format style = Field valeu
Based on field = Level RAG
apply to= Valeus and totals

Thanks for reaching out for help.

I put in a lot of effort to help you, now please quickly help me by giving kudos.

Remeber we are unpaid volunteers and here to coach you with Power BI and DAX skills and techniques, not do the users job for them. So please click the thumbs up and accept as solution button. 

If you give someone a fish then you only give them one meal, but if you teach them how to fish then they can feed themselves and teach others for a lifetime.  I prefer to teach members on this forum techniques rather give full solutions and do their job. You can then adapt the technique for your solution, learn some DAX skills for next time and soon become a Power BI Super User like me. 

One question per ticket please. If you need to extend your request then please raise a new ticket.

You will get a quicker response and each volunteer solver will get the kudos they deserve. Thank you !
