Conditional Formatting Greater Than?

Am I missing sometiing or is there no way to have conditional formatting Greater Than only?

 

I am using "Color by rules" and if I select "greater than (or equal to)" I seem to be required to fill in the "and is less than" with some fake 9999999999 number. 

 

I have the June 2018 desktop version.

@edhans,

 

No, there's no way to just have "Greater Than" but thankfully it's only a minor annoyance.

You can actually simply delete the "and is less than" value and it will default to "Max".

Hi,

You could put the particular value as a greater than or equal and delete the value for the other Less than, but it is considering the number for the less than value automatically.

Actually, there is a way to have just Greater Than. Just remove any number from the Greater Than box. That's it. 

 

Chris Webb has it written out in this blog: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2019/07/04/greater-than-less-than-rules-power-bi-conditional-formatting...

Thanks for this! I've been using the dummy 1111111111111111 number for a couple of years now, but I have a training for users in my company next week and I felt this wouldn't help with the adoption 😄

Thank you very much! The answer was really straightforward but I would never have found it on my own.

@edhans,

It is not a "minor" annoyance, it is really important. And there is a way to do this; as teylyn brilliantly said, we just need to remove any number from the Greater Than box.
