Column formatting

Hi all,

 

I would like to create some colored space between two columns for my visualization. Do I have to create a "fake" column for that or is there any other possibility?

 

f.e. Column1/space in other colour/Column2

 

Thank you very much.

@Tom1898 , Not very clear. But I doubt that is possible.

Share some screenshot.

 

You can use conditional formatting with field value option and a color measure 

example


Color Weekday = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Weekday],blank()) in {"Sunday", "Saturday"},"lightgreen","red")
Color Weekday = if(weekday(max('Date'[Date]),2) >=6 ,"lightgreen","red")

You can create one column with blank value and from value formatting option of the table visual you can only set the color of this new column. 

New Column = " "

 

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!
