SSRS Reporting : Fill Cell Color according to the Location of the Cell in the Matrix

Question

Hello,
I am trying to achieve below result in the SSRS but facing issues with Cell color Fill Expression when Detail value is NULL.
If you look at the image, it should show exact same colors of the cell irrespective of the values.
But in my case it is not showing color for NULL value cells.
Below is the expression which I have put in the Fill Expression window.
SWITCH(
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col1" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row1","Yellow",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col1" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row2","Green",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col1" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row3","Green",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col1" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row4","Green",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col2" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row1","Red",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col2" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row2","Yellow",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col2" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row3","Yellow",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col2" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row4","Green",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col3" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row1","Red",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col3" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row2","Red",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col3" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row3","Yellow",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col3" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row4","Green"
Please suggest me to get the colors for the NULL value cells.
I tried with IsNothing() but then it is doing the same color of all NULL cells. I want them exactly same in the figure.
Thank you,
Mittal.

Hi Mittal,
Based on your dataset table, the matrix should displays as below. Are you manually insert Row1 row and Col3 column in the matrix?
If that is true, the Fill cell color should be displayed as the picture above. Because there are no values for Rows=Row1 and Columns= Col1, Rows=Row1 and Columns= Col2… the expression for those cells has no effect. To achieve your requirement, we can manually
insert those values in the dataset query like below:
SELECT Columns, Rows, Value FROM table
UNION all
select 'Col1' AS Columns, 'Row1' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col1' AS Columns, 'Row3' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col2' AS Columns, 'Row1' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col2' AS Columns, 'Row4' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col3' AS Columns, 'Row1' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col3' AS Columns, 'Row2' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col3' AS Columns, 'Row3' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col3' AS Columns, 'Row4' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
Then directly add those three field with the fill cell color expression to matrix, the matrix displays:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
