Conditional formatting

QAA91 — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 07:14:42 GMT

Planned	Actual
100%	100%
50%	50%
60%	80%
40%	20%
blank	blank

Hi, how to apply background colour based on conditions above.

1. Both Planned and Actual equal to 100% - format the cell to BLUE

2. Both Planned and Actual are equal to each other but less than 100% - format the cell to GREEN

3. Actual greater than Planned - format the cell to GREEN

4. Actual less than Planned - format the cell to RED

5. Both Planned and Actual blank - format the cell to GRAY

Hi,

You can create a measure like this :

Colors of Tasks = SWITCH( TRUE(),

SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) = SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) && SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] )=1 , "#0000CD", //blue

SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) = SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) && SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] )<1 , "#98FB98", //green

SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) > SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) , "#7FFF00", //green other

SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) < SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) , "#FF0000", //red

ISBLANK( SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) ) && ISBLANK( SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) ) , "#D3D3D3", //grey

"#FFFFFF" //else white

)

and then use it in Conditionnal formatting using (values of fields) :

Hope it make sense for you otherwise do not hesitate to ask for more details.

Have a nice day

QAA91 , You can create a measure like

Assuming they are % column

color

Switch( True() ,

[Planned] =1 && [Actual] =1, "Blue" ,

([Planned] =[Actutal] && [Actual] <> 1) || [Planned] < [Actutal] , "Green" ,

[Planned] > [Actutal] , "Red",

"Grey"

)

Use this in conditional formating using the field value option.

A blank value will not take any color

Hi, Sorry one mistake in my formula, you should do the test for blank at first otherwise when both are blanks you'll get green because both have same value ;-=

So the formula should be :

Colors of Tasks = SWITCH( TRUE(),

ISBLANK( SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) ) && ISBLANK( SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) ) , "#D3D3D3", //grey

SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) = SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) && SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] )=1 , "#0000CD", //blue

SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) = SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) && SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] )<1 , "#98FB98", //green

SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) > SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) , "#7FFF00", //green other

SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Actual] ) < SELECTEDVALUE( TaskList[Planned] ) , "#FF0000", //red

"#FFFFFF" //else white

)

Do not forget to check as solved if this works as expected

Still on my journey in Power BI but check out my answer below:

Indicator = SWITCH(

TRUE(),

Data[Planned] = 1 && Data[Actual] = 1, 0,

Data[Planned] = Data[Actual] && Data[Planned] < 1 && Data[Actual] < 1, 1,

Data[Actual] > Data[Planned], 2,

Data[Actual] < Data[Planned], 3,

ISBLANK(Data[Actual]) && ISBLANK(Data[Planned]), 4

)

After set up the conditional formatting as below:
