Condition Formatting: Text Background Colour

Hi all,

 

I have a text column created using DAX.

 

How can I choose background colours for this text field in the matrix in the bottom picture?

 

From what I can see the 'Rules' conditional formating option needs numerals..

    Hi HenryJS,

    You can create a measure that is used in conditional formatting "Field Value".

    The General Measure would look like this: Measure = SWITCH(Selectedvalue([Status]),"Missing","red","Saved", "#90ee90")
    You can put all the Values in and determine the color based on "color" or you input a HEX color.

     

    Hope it helps,

     

    Kind regards

    Hi HenryJS 

     

    You can create a Measure that will assign a number to every text string using the SWITCH function, later use this Measure for conditional formating.
