Conditional formatting with Calculation items

Hello 

 

Does anyone know how to perform conditional formatting with calculation items? I have seen there have been some previous posts about this but for some reason the solutions don't for me, perhaps this is because of updates? 

 

Any help would be v gratefully received!

Hi @tloup ,

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the sample table.

2.Create the measure to calculate the sum.

 

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total Sold]), ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[day]))

 

3.Create the measure for conditional formatting.

 

conditional format = 
var _sel = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[day])
return
IF(_sel = DATE(2024,3,23),"Yellow")

 

4.Drag the date into table visual. Right click on the measure and select conditional formatting.
