Apply field formatting to row headers

In a matrix visual, I have multiple measures, and I've turned on "Show on rows," so that each measure appears in a row rather than in a column.

Now, when I apply field formatting with "Apply to header" = 'On', the field formatting does not get applied to the row header. I expected it would.

Please fix this so that field formatting can be applied to row headers, the same as column headers. Thanks!

RE: Apply field formatting to row headers

In a matrix we need to be able to customize the formatting of the row headers so that level 3 is smaller than level 2 and Level 1 being the largest. Very important for nice formatting of hierarchies.

This needs to be added as a functionality. To give option for example of Pass (Green), Fail (Red) etc.
Table and Matrix.

RE: Apply field formatting to row headers

also fraustrated by that.
spent a whole bunch of time trying to make it work, but it dosent.
sometimes it worked for some rows and not for others, and most time worked for none.
Seems random, and i could not find any documentation that suggests how does this behave.
Please help.

RE: Apply field formatting to row headers

Yep same here. We have result and target measures in the rows. We'd like to make the target rows be bold (or another font/colour).
