Conditional formatting with DAX for all columns

Hi all,

 

I am trying to conditionally format all the columns on my table. I can do each column manually but i am trying to be more efficient as i have more than 25 columns on my tables.

 

All the columns should have a background color based on the following rules:

 

1) Show red background color for any column cell with a value <> Blank OR value > 0

2) show green or no color background color for any color cell = Blank

 

A screen shot is also provided below.

Is there any possible way i can format all column at once without having to do it individually for each column please ?

 

Any leads/hints would be highly appreciated.

 

Best,

Mous

@Mous007 ,

Create a color measure like the give example

Color Date = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Date],TODAY()) <today(),"lightgreen","red")

Color Date =
var _min =minx(allselected(Date,Date[Year])
return
 Switch( true(),
 FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Year],year(TODAY()))-_min =0 ,"lightgreen",
  FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Year],year(TODAY()))-_min =0 ,"blue",
 "red")

if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Value],"true")= "true","green","red")

 

Use this with field option in color formatting of all the columns

Sadly, for conditional formatting there is NO option to format all columns in one go. You have to go through them one by one. I know about it because I've done a similar research myself before.

Thank you guys.

 

Seems like some manual work is inevitable in this situation ...
