Switch colour card filter by field value

Anonymous — Fri, 13 Nov 2020 09:29:39 GMT

I'm formating a card by FIELD VALUE

Is there a way to get this switch formula to turn greater than 0 green e.g. "#094" and red if less than 0 e.g. "#d64550";

My current code is:

Measure Value Color = SWITCH(TRUE(),

[% Average 2019] >0,"#D64550",

[%Average 2019] =0,"#252423",

[% Average 2019] <0,"#094",

[% Average 2020] >0,"#D64550",

[% Average 2020] =0,"#252423",

[% Average 2020] <0,"#094"

)

It keeps turning red for some reason when it's +18.54%

Thanks

Try to write two measures.

Color2019 = VAR _val = [% Average 2019]*100 VAR _result = SWITCH ( TRUE (), _val > 0, "#D64550", _val = 0, "#252423", _val < 0, "#094" ) RETURN _result

Color2020 = VAR _val = [% Average 2020] * 100 VAR _result = SWITCH ( TRUE (), _val > 0, "#D64550", _val = 0, "#252423", _val < 0, "#094" ) RETURN _result

If your format of measure ([% Average 2020], [% Average 2019) is not the percentage, then you don't need to multiply 100.

You can't have one measure that will return different values for the average in 2019 and 2020. Only the first true condition will be honored. So, you see 18.54% being red because this color comes from the other measure. In all honesty, in your color measure none of the 3 last conditions will ever be hit since the first 3 already cover all possibilities. Use 2 different color measures for the 2 different numerical measures. By the way, in the measures given by nandukrishnavs you don't have to multiply by 100 since you're only comparing to 0.
