Conditional Formatting on a Switch Metric - Tabular Model

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am attempting to use the Conditional Formatting - Field Value functionality on a switch metric for a Card visualization; however, the field selector does not let me choose a field value from my model. The "OK" button is grayed out for every metric from my model.

The switch metrics are all functioning properly if I view the data in a normal table format with the coloring metric accurately displaying the Color metric as "Red", "Green", "Yellow", etc...  as a text field in the table.

The data model was published through visual studio to a serve and the PowerBI file is connected to the server hosting the data model. Are there any conditional formatting - field value limitations when connecting to a tabular data model? The field value functionality seems to work through switch metrics for me when housing the data within the PowerBI file.

Thank you!

I think text is not yet supported, right now it's in the planned phase

I guess you could try crating numeric measures that would return e.g. 1,2,3 for red, yellow, green, but I'm not sure it's gonna work in your situation
