Conditional Formatting

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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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)

    How to provide sample data in the Power BI Forum - Microsoft Fabric Community

      Flag = SWITCH(TRUE(),

      'Account Data'[Combined Sell-To Number]='Account Data'[Sell_To_Number],1,

      2)
       
      The formula is working as far as bring back the true, false statements.  It's when I implement the conditional formatting on the icon when it is not bringing back the flag to the appropriate numbers.
