Hello,
I was trying to apply conditional formatting to text values.
I have a matrix like:
Sl. No | Column1 | Column2 | Column3 |
1 | Moderate | High | |
2 | Low | Low | |
3 | Very High | Moderate | |
4 | Low |
I tried to apply conditional formatting to colour code according to the text using the measure:
Colour =
var selected = SELECTEDVALUE(table1[Column1])
return
if(selected = "Low", "green",
if(selected = "Moderate", "yellow",
if(selected = "High", "orange",
if(selected = "Very High", "red", "white")))
I tried using the same measure for every column but it gives the colour code according to Column1 since that is what I defined in the measure (DAX). I have more than 50 columns in the matrix and would have to create a measure for each of them. Is there a way to create just a single measure that can be applied to all 50 columns instead (like dynamically select the column)?
Thank you!
Don't have 50 columns. Have a single column with 50 values. (or ideally far fewer - nobody will want to scroll horizontally)
