Conditional Formatting of multi card visual in power BI

Hi there,

 

I am currently developing a dashboard to show inspections done, there is a traffic light rating system, Red, Orange Green, depending on if the inspection was good, ok, or bad. I want the background of each card to change to red, orange, or green accordingly.

 

I am doing this using conditional formatting of the fill colour. But I can only do it using the First or Last value in the set, does anyone know why this might be? I have been able to do it in a table no problem but for some reason the multi card visual isn't liking it. Could anyone please suggest a fix around for this? Thanks!

 

Ideally I want the multi card visual on the left to have red orange or green boxes similar to the formatted table on the right

 

 

This is the formatting currently being applied, I can only choose first or last, not a distinct value.

  • Hi Ieutomic 
    Which visual are you using, is it a custom visual?
    Can you take a screen shot from the visualisation pane please.

     

    You should be able to choose FieldValue instead of rules and select that column.

    Alternatively you may be able to use a measure that returns the single item colour.

    Colour measure =
    SelectedValue(table[TIActionCategory])

      Hi SamWiseOwl ,

       

      It is just the in built multi-row card:

      I have tried with Fiel Value too but it still won't let me:

      For refrence this is the column I am trying to format using:

      I think a measure might not be dynamic enough, a measure will only represenbt a single value right?

        Ahh you said "multi card visual" and I wasn't sure if that was something different.

        Unfortunetly I don't think that visual supports what you are trying to do.

         

        Have you tried the New Card visual?
