    HI Anonymous

    For flashing text, you could construct HTML or SVG and use the HTML Content (Lite) custom visual.

     

    I have attached a small example where I defined the content for the "card" as an SVG.

    The measure is as follows:

    Profit $ SVG = 
VAR MeasureValue = [Profit $]
VAR MeasureSign = SIGN ( MeasureValue )
VAR MeasureFormatted =
    FORMAT ( MeasureValue, "#,##0;(#,##);-" )
VAR TextColour =
    SWITCH (
        MeasureSign,
        -1,
        "red",
        "black"
    )
VAR AnimationTag =
    SWITCH (
        MeasureSign,
        -1,
        "<animate attributeName='opacity' values='1;0;1' dur='1s' repeatCount='indefinite' />",
        ""
    )
VAR SVG_String = 
        "<svg viewBox='0 0 300 80' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' preserveAspectRatio='xMidYMid meet'>
        <text x='50%' y='50%' font-family='DIN' font-size='50' fill='" & TextColour & "' dominant-baseline='middle' text-anchor='middle'>"
        & AnimationTag & MeasureFormatted & "</text></svg>"
RETURN
    SVG_String

     

    The formatting would likely need to be adjusted to meet your needs but this should be a start at least 🙂

hello Anonymous 

 

first, create the measure for color conditional formating.

Color Palette = 
IF(
    'Table'[Nom]<0,
    "#FF0000",
    "#000000"
)

next, in your card visual option, go to "Callout value" option. then choose conditional formating.

choose Field Value in Format Style.

then, select the measure in field.

press OK

 

here is the result.

negative

positive

 

Hope this will help you.

Thank you.

      hello Anonymous 

       

      i have never seen a blinking or flashing color in conditional formating since it is color or icon selections.

      But the others might know.

       

      Thank you.
