I ceated a formula to create a new column and bring back a 1 if the criteria is true and 2 if it is false. I added it to my visual and it worked however when I try to format it using Icons it is not flagging the rule I expected. As you can see it is bringing a 1 if true and 2 if false.
I then went into the visual to create a conditional format to flag the "2"s to show a red flag.
It did not flag my 2's but is flagging random rows.
Am I doing something wrong.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I figured it out. In the rules of the conditional formatting instead of calcuating on sum I changed it to maxium and it is now bringing back what I need.
Hi @brockry1
I would like to ask what is the DAX formula for creating a new column?
Could you please provide sample data that would completely cover your problem? A pbix file would be great.(Remove privacy information)

looks like your flag is a calculated column. Most likely you wanted it to be a measure.
The column is bringing back the correct true, false conditions. Where I ran into an issue was with the conditional formatting using hte icon and it is not showing a flag on the 2's like it should.
