Conditional Formatting Against Column Totals

Hi All,

Need a bit of help with Conditional Formatting against the Column Total (Diff in Sales%). Please Note: Diff in Sales% is a calculated measure.

ideally, This is what I want to show.

  • State A conditional formatting 10.04% in red as it is lower than the total 23.92% ( Diff in Sales%)
  • Customer 3622 in red under State A, as 1.53% is lower than the total 23.92%
  • Customer 4371 in green under State A, As 30.57% is higher than the column total of 23.92%
  • Similar formatting to the rest of the state and customer.

I have also added the raw data for the table if that helps.

@Rubal_Islam , Oh I was looking at sub total, The logic was on grand total. I created both sub Total and total of Avg and created color on Total (overall avg). File is attached after signature

@Rubal_Islam , You can create a color measure

 

Color =

var _diff = calculate([diff in sales] , filter(allselected(Table), Table[State] = max(Table[State]) ) )

return

Switch(True() ,

Max(Table[State]) ="A" && [diff in sales] < _diff  , "Red" ,

// Add other conditions

)

 

Use the color measure in conditional formatting using the field value option

Hey @amitchandak , I am also trying to do the calculation based on the measure "Diff in Sales %" instead of "Diff in Sales".

Hi @amitchandak ,

 

I am almost there, Can you please help with the below. I think my conditions in the formula are not quite right.

@Rubal_Islam , Can create measures only with

calculate([diff in sales] , filter(allselected(Table), Table[State] = max(Table[State]) ) )

 

and check is that giving correct number to compare

Hi @amitchandak ,

 

This is what i am getting. Unfortunately, doesn't seem correct.

@Rubal_Islam , Please use the [diff %] measure , that should solve the purpose

Hey @amitchandak , Unfortunately, it doesn't. Did you run a copy at your end? Can you share your PBIX file with me?
