conditional format line chart
Hi
Just wondering how one would go about coloring line chart for example in my graph below we did worst this week compared to last week it should be red and when we do better it should be green. Most tutorial show use of legend but I want to colour one of the lines and the whole line not just parts of the line that don't meet the condition.
EXAMPLE:
Bad week
Good week
Hi Anonymous
you would want to create a measure for week category
Example Good Week = IF(GoodWEEK, Green, Red)
then use the measure in the conditional format of your Graph

Anonymous , conditional formatting is only possible when you use one measure(value) and no legend. That too you need to do it in bar visual and make it as line visual with marker.
If above is true create a color measure and use that in conditional formatting with Field value option
Color sales = if(AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170,"green","red")

Hi Anonymous ,
It is a great pity that conditional formatting applies only to the values of Table or Matrix visuals, and doesn't apply to any subtotals, grand totals, or the Total row.
Please refer this document about conditional format :Considerations and limitations of conditional format
If you want to apply to Line Chart, as far as I know, it is not supported yet currently. We also not found an effective solution to meet your requirement.
Perhaps you can submit the requirement to ideas and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas.
