RunningValue + Aggregate = ERROR?

I am trying to do alternative color row for my report,
1. On Table - it works
=iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 , "#F9F9F9","#EBEBEB" )
2. On Matrix with Value - it works too
=iif(RunningValue(Fields!Name.Value, CountDistinct, Nothing) Mod 2,
"#EEEEEE", "#FFFFFF")
3. On Matrix with Aggregate function - it DOESN'T WORK
=iif(RunningValue(Fields!OrderAmount.Value, Sum, Nothing) Mod 2, "#EEEEEE",
"#FFFFFF")
=iif(RunningValue(Sum(Fields!OrderAmount.Value), CountDistinct, Nothing) Mod
2, "#EEEEEE", "#FFFFFF")
It said scope parameter is not for RunningValue?The "Nothing" scope is not supported in matrix cells - because otherwise it
is not clear if the RunningValue should run horizontally or vertically
through the matrix cells. The scope has to be a specific matrix row group or
column group.
In your case, it sounds like you want to achieve alternating colors for
matrix rows. Take a look at the following blog article:
