Hello folks,
I'm trying to figure out how apply the conditional formatting in a table, but I need to avoid the first column.
The first one must be the base line to the second, and then, the second to the third....
When I apply the conditional, the first column show an icon as "Up", but this is the first value...
Is biger (Up) than which one?
The long story short.
I need the icons from the second column...
@devGV_88 you can easily do this by making a measure for the conditional formatting:
Color =
IF (
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Year] ) = CALCULATE( MIN ( 'Calendar'[Year] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Calendar' ) ) &&
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Quarter Number] ) = CALCULATE( MIN ( 'Calendar'[Quarter Number] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Calendar' ) ),
-100, --some random value to check in conditional formatting to not to do anything
<<logic for conditional formatting>> --value that will show up or down arrow.
