Color Formatting

ringovski — Fri, 06 May 2022 02:00:29 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to format a % measure called "Learning Percentage Completed" with red when it's >50 and <75 then with orange when its greater than 75. I've created a new measure called "color measure" and have tried using a IF statement ( I need to additional conditions later on).

When I just return the number from the IF it returns the correct number;

Color Measure =
VAR _per = [Learning Percentage Completed]*100
RETURN

_per

But when I try comparing the numbers they are all orange when only 84.59 should be orange.

Color Measure =
VAR _per = [Learning Percentage Completed]*100
RETURN

IF(_per >50 && _per < 75, "Red","Orange")

This should be pretty simple but what am I missing?

Thanks

ringovski , This seems fine .

Try this

Color Measure = Switch( True() ,

[Learning Percentage Completed] >.5 && [Learning Percentage Completed] <.75, "Red",

"Orange"

)

If this does not help
Can you share a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

I got it by adding a third condition, as it is technically correct at the moment becuase it changing values below 50 as these aren't 50 to 75.

Color Measure =
VAR _per = [Learning Percentage Completed]*100
RETURN

IF(_per >50 && _per < 75, "Red",

IF(_per > 75, "Orange",""))
