Conditional Formatting using Calculation Groups not working

Hi fantastic commuinity,

Through this link, I was able to create a calculation group to show or hide columns in a visual matrix

Then I wanted to apply Conditional Formating only to the "Fuel" column, so I created this measure:

 

 

 

Seta Contional Formatting = 
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE('Hide Columns'[Name]) = "Fuel", //Hide Columns is the Calculation Group
    [Sel_Clientes_Contratos],
    BLANK()
    )

 

 

 

Then I applied conditional formatting from the formatting panel, but it applied to all columns:



Any thoughts on this problem?
Thank you very much,
Simão

  • Anonymous you need to change each Calculation Item in the Calculation Group except for Fuel.

     

    IF (
        ISSELECTEDMEASURE ( [Seta Contional Formatting] ), BLANK(),
        <<your exisitng measure for calculation item >>
    )

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I can apply Conditional Formating only to a column in calculation group. This is my PBIX file. Could you please share your PBIX file without sensitive data?

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

      I have a question: If you had a Calculation Group to manipulate the matrix measure so that it's dynamic rather than using a static measure, how could you apply conditional formatting to a single column (or an element of the time intelligence calculation group)?

      I'm trying to implement this, but I'm unsure what to insert for '<<your exisitng measure for calculation item >>'

    Did you mean to use SELECTEDMEASURE() rather than SELECTEDVALUE()?
