Hi! I'm trying to do some conditional formatting on my matrix visual. There are a few conditions that I need to have: 1) If value > 100%, colour red 2) Based on the above, all months before the lat...

    Thank you for the reply KHMJ 
    Here is the correct measure

    Conditional Formatting =
VAR CurrentMonth =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Month Index] )
VAR T1 =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        Table,
        REMOVEFILTERS (
            Table[Year - Month],
            Table[Year Month Index],
            Table[Month Index]
        )
    )
VAR T2 =
    SUMMARIZE ( T1, [Month Index], "%Load", [% Load] )
VAR T3 =
    FILTER ( T2, [%Load] > 1 )
VAR LastMonthAbove100 =
    MAXX ( T3, [Month Index] )
VAR Result =
    IF (
        CurrentMonth <= LastMonthAbove100,
        "#ff7276",
        IF ( CurrentMonth IN { 2, 3 }, "#ffa500", "#f8f8ff" )
    )
RETURN
    Result

    In T1 variable, please make sure to remove the filter from all the columns related to year month.
    Have a great day!

Hi KHMJ 

it depends on the current measure. We meed to modify the existing one not to add a new measure. Can share the code that you are using right now?

    Hi tamerj1 ,

    I have a month index that is tied to the months now (i.e. 2022-03 has index 1, 2022-04 has index 2, 2022-05 has index 3 etc).

    My current measure for the formatting is:

    Conditional Formatting = IF([% Load]>1, "#ff7276", (IF((sum(Table[Month Index])=1 || sum(Table[Month Index])=2), "#ffa500", "#f8f8ff")))

      Hi KHMJ 

      You may try the following

       

      Conditional Formatting =
VAR CurrentMonth =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Month Index] )
VAR LastMonthAbove100 =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table[Month Index] ),
        [% Load] > 1,
        REMOVEFILTERS ( Table[Month Index] )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        CurrentMonth <= LastMonthAbove100,
        "#ff7276",
        IF ( CurrentMonth = 1 || CurrentMonth = 2, "#ffa500", "#f8f8ff" )
    )

      Or 

      Conditional Formatting =
VAR CurrentMonth =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Month Index] )
VAR LastMonthAbove100 =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table[Month Index] ),
        [% Load] > 1,
        REMOVEFILTERS ( Table[Month Index] )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        CurrentMonth <= LastMonthAbove100,
        "#ff7276",
        IF ( CurrentMonth IN { 1, 2 }, "#ffa500", "#f8f8ff" )
    )

        Thanks tamerj1! I tried and got the following error message though..

        "A function 'PLACEHOLDER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed."
