how can use measures for comperision in conditional formatting using power bi

I made two measures to find the sales amount for this day and the previous day. Now, I want to make a comparison between the amounts. I want to use an up arrow icon and a down arrow icon to show me which value is higher than the other.

Hi @amal_01,

 

I'm not sure what your measures are called but hopefully the below generic example will help.

 

Conditional measure...

 

__SalesIcon = 
    SWITCH(
        TRUE()
        , [Sales] > [Sales SPLY], "TriangleHigh"
        , "TriangleLow"
    )

 

You can see the icon names in this article.

Apply this to the cell elements...
