Hello,
I am trying to make a dashboard that shows a calandar view and a quantity. I want to have each day be red or green based on if the quantity is higher or lower than a goal.
This is fine and I hav esomething to do that, but the problem is it only works for a flat goal. I want to have a weekned and weekday goal. I have been using the visual tool beyondsoft calandar.
How can I make a goal that changes based on the day?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous,
I think matrix should be a simple choice to achieve your requirement, I haven't found custom visuals that fully matched with your requirements.
If you want to choose another way, I'd like to suggest you try to use r visual with r package and scripts to manually plot a calendar with color and show values on it.

Other is matrix visual , weekday and month week no on column and row
Start Month = STARTOMONTH('Date'[Date])
WeekDay = WEEKDAY([Date],2) //monday
Start of Week = [Date] -[WeekDay]+1 //monday
Month Week = QUOTIENT(DATEDIFF(Minx(FILTER('Date',[Start Month]=EARLIER([Start Month])),'Date'[Start of Week]),[Date],DAY),7)+1
and conditional formatting

Thanks,
I think you are correct I could do a matrix and format a calandar, but I feel as though there has to be a better way. I looked at the calandar app you linked and it is decent but would not display the numbers of the value on each date.
