hi PBI, Can you help with coding a DAX with color code. Can I insert a color code into the DAX so it comes out in RED or Green visually
eg below
Change = if([Growth])>0,"Grow","Decline")
Growth | Change
0.12 | Grow <auttomatically green in color
-0.04 | Decline <automatically red in color
Solved! Go to Solution.

Color coding in DAX is not possible, but as a workaround you can create two metrics:
metric1=if([Growth])>0,"Grow","")
metric1=if([Growth])<=0,"Decline","")
Add two card visuals to the report and pull metric1 into 1 card and metric2 into the other card. Now, change the font color for 1st card(where metric1 has been used) to green and 2nd card(where metric2 has been used) to red.
In this way, card 1 will show up only when [Growth])>0 and card 2 will show up only when [Growth])<=0

By creating "metric" do you mean adding new measure?
What do you mean by "pull metric1 into 1 card and metric2 into the other card"?

thanks.... although not ideal but works and i am using it now
Hi @Anonymous,
Current dax formula not support color code, I think you can post this requirement to ideas forum or use conditional formatting function to modify the display color.

Conditional Formatting was just added to the visuals recently (June Power BI). It can't be used on the Text Entries but you could colour in the Growth column based on a range.
To do this, click on the Field in the Values area of your visualisations and select the down triangle to get the menu. The menu has conditional formatting and Color Scales.
