Thousand Seperator using DAX formula with Conditional formatting

Hi Team,

 

I need to create dashboard showcasing the measure with monthly numbers, but facing few challenge

 

1. How to show Thousand Separator for $ amount

2. How to color-code based on Comparing Target value, some Measure has to be lower and some have a Bigger target

 

 

Measure NameTargetJan-20Feb-20Mar-20Apr-20
Dollar Saved$8,000$28,732$30,900$33,483$43,893
% Customer Satisfaction >8589908795
# of New Employees<1000898985000250500
Saved Hrs on deployment>3hrs7hrs8hrs4hrs8hrs

Hi @Anonymous 

 

The thousand separator is standard functionality and can be found at:

If the "normal" conditional formating is not sufficient, you can you the option "Format by Field value", this allows you to assign  colors for any custom calculation:

Hi JustJan,

 

Standard Thousand seperator functionality not work as mine columns contains different format like %age, $, # and hrs value. So is there any other way ?

Some Measure created by using formula 

"$"& Text.From (Number.Round ([#"Field Name"],2))

Or 

Text.From (Number.Round([#"Incidents"]*100,2)) & "%"

 

For color coding you have suggested the static while I'm trying to find a dynamic so If Target changed the color coding changed and also looking to code based on % range

 

Green: equal or below the target and with a less than 5% Variance above target. Amber: Above 5% variance of the target. Red: Above 10% variance of the target

OR

Green: equal or above the target and with a less than 5% Variance above target. Amber: Above 5% variance of the target. Red: Above 10% variance of the target

It seems that you calculate your "measure" in m-query.

When you use" Number.ToText(12345,67,"N") you will get a text "12,345.67"

 

The code I suggested is merely an example, you can put any measure / expression that leads to True() (in this case), but if I understand you threshold correctly, than you can use the standard conditional formating by rule, use your calculated percentage in the rules.

There is also an option to use percent in the rule, but that does not allow for negative values.

 

So your percentage calculation now drives the colors in the conditional format
