A simple conditional formatting rule

Hello,

I would like a conditional formatting rule, like:

  • Red if the value of the measure is negative
  • Green otherwise

Please illuminate me:

Hi @webportal ,

 

Please try creating a new measure:

 

Color = 
VAR __diff = DIVIDE([ThisYear], [PrevYear])-1
VAR __result = IF(__diff < 0, "Red", "Green")
RETURN
    __result

And apply it to the field value:

Hello @Anonymous 

Ok, but then for each measure I want a conditional formatting, I'll need another measure.

There should be a better way.
