Conditional Formating Color
Hi Team,
I have been facing an issue with conditional formating for a column the table is actually a View from sql analytics endpoint in fabrics the thing is the formatting is working for normal tables which are not View but this color formating is not working for this View table.
Is there any limitations on conditional formating in Views if not could you suggest what might be causing the issue
Thanks In Advance
Hi Akash_Varuna
This occurs due to following reasons below:
- Conditional formatting isn’t blocked for Views, but issues often come from how columns are exposed.
- Check if the column in the View is coming as text instead of numeric/date formatting won’t apply correctly.
- If it’s a calculated field, try casting it explicitly in SQL.
- In Power Query, verify the data type and change it if needed.
- Once the data type is correct, conditional formatting should work the same as with normal tables.
No limitation with Views.
Conditional formatting usually fails because:
Column comes in as text instead of numeric/date.
Column has NULL/blanks.
Using raw column → create an explicit measure and format that.
In DirectQuery, metadata from View may cause issues → test in Import mode.

Hi Akash_Varuna,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. There aren’t any limitations on using conditional formatting with Views. The issue usually comes down to how the columns are being exposed from the View. As
