Condditional formating based on another table

Hi 

 

I would like to make visible in the table # 1  with sale per emplyee when they were eligible for bonus. 

table #1.PNG

 

 

 

The bonus is based on other criteria than sale and it is showing displayed in the table #2. so the table #2 is the source of the conditions that should aply to the table #1

and this is how the end result should look like it can be also different font color

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Current power bi only support condditional formating by current value, it not supoort highlight cells by other table.

I try to look for custom visuals which has the similar feature but failed, so I'd like to suggest you share it to ideas forum.

hi @Anonymous

 

Thank you for your qick response. I was affraid that woudl be the case.

Isnt there a way how to do this with help of DAX.

Lets say i have the total sale data in a different table where i would need to calculate it first

 

- something like

 

john sale = calculate (sum(table all sale,table all sale[2015]),filter(tabletable all sale[employee]="john") 

 

and then

 

= if(table#2[2015]="Bonus", format("john sale", "red", text), "john sale"

 

i mean this is very simplistic but i am still very new to dax .. but you might get the idea and maybe you can help

 

thank you

Hi @Anonymous,

 

>>= if(table#2[2015]="Bonus", format("john sale", "red", text), "john sale"

Dax not a programming language, it not support to access/modify visual property.
