Button dynamic color in Power BI

[Analitika]

Hello,

Please help me to make that whenever I press on button it changes color. I have two buttons sale1 sale2. Default is selected sale1 If I select sale2 then color changes of sale1 and sale2 buttons. How I could achieve this?

Hi @Analitika 

If i am not wrong.

I am assuming you have two measure sales1 and sales2.


1. Create a field parameter

Change the slicer into tile


2. Use the below dax for the result 

Selected Sales =

SWITCH(

    SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Parameter Order]),

    0, [Sales1],

    1, [Sales2]

)

Result

IF this answers your questions, kindly accept it as a solution and give kudos.

Hi @Analitika 

Could you please follow below steps:

Add buttons

• Insert >> Buttons >> Blank >> rename to Sale1_off (grey style).

• Duplicate it >> rename to Sale1_on (give it your selected color, e.g., brown).

• Do the same for Sale2 >>  Sale2_off (grey) and Sale2_on (brown).

• Put the two “on” buttons exactly over the “off” ones (same position/size).

• Go to view >> Bookmark >> Create 4 Bookmarks
• Go to view >> selection >> Rename every button for easy understanding.

Selecitons:

1. Go to View >>Selection.

2. In the Bookmarks pane, select Sales 1 off.

3. In the Selection pane, hide Sales 2 on and Sales 1 off (click the eye icons).

4. Go back to the Bookmarks pane, right-click Sales 1 off.

5. In the menu, uncheck Data (so only Display/Current page are ticked).

6. Click Update.

2. For Sales 2 off

1. Stay in View >> Selection.

2. In Bookmarks pane, select Sales 2 off.

3. In the Selection pane, hide Sales 1 on and Sales 2 off.

4. Right-click Sales 2 off in the Bookmarks pane >> uncheck Data >> click Update.

Hey @Analitika,

Looking for a way to create dynamic button colors in Power BI? Here's a practical solution that works:

Solution Steps:

1. Create a Measure for Button State

Selected Button =
IF(SELECTEDVALUE('ButtonTable'[ButtonName]) = "Sale1", "Sale1", "Sale2")

2. Set Up Button Actions

• Create a simple table with button names (Sale1, Sale2)
• Each button should filter this table to show the selected button

3. Dynamic Color Formatting

• Go to button formatting options
• Use conditional formatting for fill color
• Create a measure like:

Button Color =
IF([Selected Button] = "Sale1",
IF(MAX('ButtonTable'[ButtonName]) = "Sale1", "#0078D4", "#F3F2F1"),
IF(MAX('ButtonTable'[ButtonName]) = "Sale2", "#0078D4", "#F3F2F1"))

4. Apply to Both Buttons

• Set both buttons to use the same color measure
• Configure button actions to update the selection
• Test the toggle behavior

Pro Tips:

• Use bookmark actions instead of table filters for smoother transitions
• Consider using variables in your DAX for better performance
• Keep your color codes consistent with your report theme

This approach gives you the toggle effect you're looking for without complex workarounds. The buttons will automatically switch colors based on selection state.
