I find many post on how to add colour to reports, but I can't really wrap my head around it on how I can do it in my dataset.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right directions.
I have made a weekly report that adds many rvtools reports into the dataset.
The table ends up something like this.
| Source | Server | RamGB | Date |
| rvtools-week1 | Server1 | 8 | 7/1-23 |
| rvtools-week2 | Server1 | 8 | 14/1-23 |
| rvtools-week3 | Server1 | 12 | 21/1-23 |
How can I add colour to my report. If RamGB is higher from last week, I would like the number to show up as green. If it is lower, red.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Raggsokk ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create measure.
Flag =
var _select=
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])
var _current=
SUMX(
FILTER(ALL('Table'),
WEEKNUM(_select,2)=WEEKNUM('Table'[Date],2)&&'Table'[Server]=MAX('Table'[Server])),[RamGB])
var _last=
SUMX(
FILTER(ALL('Table'),
WEEKNUM(_select,2)-1=WEEKNUM('Table'[Date],2)&&'Table'[Server]=MAX('Table'[Server])),[RamGB])
return
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
_last>_current,"red",
_last=_current,"yellow",
"blue")
2. Conditional formatting – Background color.
3. Result:

Hi, Are you using the fabric to import the data from rvtools? or is there a template or something?
Care to share?
Thank you
