conditional background color
Hi,
I have a field (data type text) called test that has some rows with Y and other empty
I need to color the rows in a table with yellow color if the field test is Y and white if it's empty.
I don't need to show the field test on the table.
How can I do?
Giada_Togliatti , you can create a color measure and use that after selecting field option
example
color = switch ( true(), FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum(Table[Value]) >500,"lightgreen", FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum(Table[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen", /// Add more conditions "red" )https://radacad.com/dax-and-conditional-formatting-better-together-find-the-biggest-and-smallest-numbers-in-the-column

Change the values of the "Y / Blank" to "1 / 0" then apply a conditional formatting on each column you want formatted.
Use the "based on field" together with format by rules.
Br,
JYou could create a simple measure as below:
Measure = IF(CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[test]))="Y",1,2)Then do conditional formatting as below:
and for "I don't need to show the field test on the table."
you'd better show it(test field) in the table visual. if one value has "Y" and empty together, how do you color it?
for example:
In my simple sample, D has "Y" and empty in test, if you don't drag test in the table visual.
Result:
and here is my sample pbix file, please try it.
