Conditional Formatting

Hello All,

 

This is a part of my curent table:

e175429_0-1722355959166.png

 

For the "Score Trend", instead of it saying Decline, No change, Improvemement, I would like it to instead show a arrow going up

(for improvement), down (for decline), and a dash (for no improvement) and then I don't want the words to show either.

Hi @e175429 ,

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the sample table.

vjiewumsft_0-1722587173454.png

2.Create the new column to filter the N/A.

filterlastscore = IF('Table 2'[Last Score] = "N/A", BLANK(), 'Table 2'[Last Score])

3.Create the new column to calculate the score change. Change the column format to percentage.

Score change = DIVIDE('Table 2'[Current Score] - 'Table 2'[filterlastscore], 100)

4.Create the new measure to calculate score trend.

Scoretren = 
IF([Score change] > 0, "Improvement", 
    IF([Score change] < 0 , "Decline", "N/A")
)

Hello! 

 

I appreciate your response.

I am getting the following error when calculating the score change:

e175429_0-1722460359617.png

And I can't calculate the score trend until I score change.

 

The reason I am getting this error is because there are some people with no scores in the Last Score column. Currently, for those people, it says "N/A". They don't have a "Last Score" but they do have a "Current Score".

 

I purposely did not write 0 in their "'Last Score" column because I don't want that to be confused with their current score and having "No Improvement". It's not that they didn't improve, they just were not involved the first go around.

 

Does that make sense? So, as the error says, SUMX cannot work on values with "N/A" in it. And I understand that. But what should I put in place of "N/A"?

Hey @Anonymous,

 

I figured it out. I had to combine a IF AND statement.

Thank you sooooo much for your help. I would have been stuck forever.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Is there a way to factor "No trend" in to the "Trend" column (due to them not participating), because technically they didn't improve(or decline)? For the ones who originally had no score, they shouldn't have a trend.
