Series selection is greyed out under the column formatting settings of a matrix visual

[PowerBiIssues]

On my matrix, when I go in the format visualizations settings, under the specific column settings, I see this:

I can't change the series value as the option is greyed out. How do I fix that? Is this a bug? I created a temporary dataset to see if it was my data but that dataset also suffer from the same problem. The data set looks like this:

But again I see the options greyed out:

Hi @PowerBiIssues ,

As far as I know, we can select the columns/measures in matrix value field from the “Series” in “Specific column”.

According to your screenshot, I think there are only one column [First Order] in matrix value field. So you couldn't select others —— the selection is greyed out.

In my test, I add [First Order] and a [Measure] into matrix value field.

Then the selection works.

Thanks Rico, that makes sense. I can confirm you only have the option to select the dropdown if you have more than one data in the value slot. I guess I was expecting from the name to be able to change column formatting based on the column slot but in retrospect of course that doesn't make much sense considering you can have a variable ammount.
