Key Features

Power BI's built-in conditional formatting works column-by-column. Highlighting the highest value in each row across columns requires custom DAX measures that compare values within row context — 10 measures means 10 color measures, each with the same pattern but different references. This skill generates all the DAX and patches the visual automatically, with 10 rule types from simple min/max to full heatmap gradients — run it with /matrix-heatmap.

How it works

Type /matrix-heatmap, select your matrix visual, choose a rule type, and the skill creates everything:

  1. Identifies all measures in the matrix and the column field (if present)

  2. Creates shared color measures for the color scale endpoints

  3. Creates per-measure conditional formatting measures using the selected rule

  4. Patches the visual definition with background color entries for each

What you get

  • Shared color measures — reusable across multiple matrices

  • Per-measure conditional formatting measures — one per measure in the matrix

  • Patched visual — background color applied with proper selector bindings
