Conditional formatting a field based on 5 variables
Hi, I have been challanged with this one and hunted google etc to no avail and looking for some advice:
I would like to colour code a name field based on 5 different cells: Thisis an abridged table to make life easy, but I have about 60 names or so...
e.g.
Name Date Indicator 1 Indicator 2 Indicator 3 Indicator 4
Smith, John 23/3/19 3 1 2
Low, Tony
Price, Toby 6/4/19 4 2 1 1
Walk, Janine 1 1
Where values are present, they represent compliance to a requirement. I would like 3 outcomes if possible
There is 1 date field and the remainders are numerical fields based on measures.
1. Highlight name Red when 5 variables no values
2. Highlight name Yellow when 1 variable or more is present
3. Highlight name Green when all 5 variables are present
cheers

Anonymous Here is my approach
1. Go to edit query
2. Select all five fields and click on add column tab3. Click on statistics and select count values
4. Close and apply5. Right click on the name field in table visual
6. Do the conditional formatting --> format by rules and based on the new count column created using statistics
7. create rules for green red and yellow
