Conditional formatting using DAX

Hi ,

 

I want to do conditional formatting on the values based on the criteria for each country .

 

I have data like below :

 

CategoryQuantity Q2country
Chairs10China
Tables20China
Cars30China
Bikes40China
Chairs13India
Tables22India
Cars54India
Bikes60India

 

 

Conditions are :

 

For China : 

if >=10 then green ,less than 10 and greater than 6 then amber else red
if >=30 then green ,less than 29 and greater than 19 then amber else red
if >=60 then green ,less than 60 and greater than 50 then amber else red
if >=60 then green ,less than 60 and greater than 35 then amber else red

 

For India:

 

if >=12 then green ,less than 10 and greater than 5 then amber else red
if >=25 then green ,less than 20 and greater than 19 then amber else red
if >=60 then green ,less than 60 and greater than 50 then amber else red
if >=60 then green ,less than 60 and greater than 35 then amber else red

Hi @nish18_1990 
Colour measure =

var Sales = Sum(table[Quantity])

RETURN
Switch(

          SELECTEDVALUE(table[Country])

         ,"China"

         ,Switch(
                      SELECTEDVALUE(table[CATEGORY])
                    ,"Chairs", Switch(true(), Sales >= 10, "Green", Sales > 6, "Yellow", "Red")

                   ,"Tables", Switch(true(), Sales >= 30, "Green", Sales > 19, "Yellow", "Red")
             )

 ,"India"

         ,Switch(
                      SELECTEDVALUE(table[CATEGORY])
                    ,"Chairs", Switch(true(), Sales >= 10, "Green", Sales > 6, "Yellow", "Red")

                   ,"Tables", Switch(true(), Sales >= 30, "Green", Sales > 19, "Yellow", "Red")
             )
)

@nish18_1990 Use the following DAX formula to create a new column that will hold the color values based on the conditions provided.

DAX
Color =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Chairs" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] >= 10, "Green",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Chairs" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] < 10 && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] > 6, "Amber",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Chairs" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] <= 6, "Red",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Tables" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] >= 30, "Green",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Tables" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] < 30 && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] > 19, "Amber",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Tables" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] <= 19, "Red",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Cars" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] >= 60, "Green",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Cars" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] < 60 && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] > 50, "Amber",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Cars" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] <= 50, "Red",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Bikes" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] >= 60, "Green",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Bikes" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] < 60 && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] > 35, "Amber",
'Table'[country] = "China" && 'Table'[Category] = "Bikes" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] <= 35, "Red",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Chairs" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] >= 12, "Green",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Chairs" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] < 10 && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] > 5, "Amber",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Chairs" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] <= 5, "Red",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Tables" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] >= 25, "Green",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Tables" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] < 20 && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] > 19, "Amber",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Tables" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] <= 19, "Red",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Cars" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] >= 60, "Green",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Cars" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] < 60 && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] > 50, "Amber",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Cars" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] <= 50, "Red",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Bikes" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] >= 60, "Green",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Bikes" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] < 60 && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] > 35, "Amber",
'Table'[country] = "India" && 'Table'[Category] = "Bikes" && 'Table'[Quantity Q2] <= 35, "Red",
BLANK()
)

 

 

Go to the "Visualizations" pane and select the table or matrix visual where you want to apply the conditional formatting.
Click on the "Format" pane (paint roller icon).
Expand the "Conditional formatting" section.
Select the field you want to format (e.g., Quantity Q2).
Click on "Background color" or "Font color".
Choose "Field value" and select the new column (Color) you created for the conditional formatting.
