Conditional Formatting - Icons - Scientific Numbers

[jyouens]

I am wanting to use the icons conditional formatting option on a column which is based off another column I have created

The issue is that the new column is returning a scientific number. Even if I change the data type to Decimal and have 2 decimal places, or whole numbers the conditional formatting isnt working as expected.

The issue is with row 3 in the example and my confitional formatting is as per the below

The new column is Column B - Column A

The column I'm basing the conditional formatting off is from a DAX measure and the other cells that it is calculated off is from a DAX table

Any ideas?

Hi @lbendlin - thanks for the pointer

Please see the data below, taken from Excel files that I've loaded into power bi. I cannot share the pbix file due to sensitive info

Table - Test_Placement_Actualisation

ADVERTISER_CODE	MONTH_OF_SERVICE	ACTUALIZED_COST
TEST	2024/01	148212.4
TEST	2024/01	2964.25
TEST	2024/01	1026.38
TEST	2024/01	72067.21
TEST	2024/01	1441.34
TEST	2024/01	6824.4
TEST	2024/01	137356.09
TEST	2024/01	2747.12
TEST	2024/01	1445.78
TEST1	2024/01	25407.68
TEST1	2024/01	0

Table - Tracker_Recons

Client Code	Date	client_cost
TEST	01/01/2024	151176.65
TEST	01/01/2024	73508.55
TEST	01/01/2024	140103.21
TEST1	01/01/2024	25407.68
TEST	01/01/2024	0
TEST	01/01/2024	1026.38
TEST	01/01/2024	6824.4
TEST	01/01/2024	1445.78
TEST1	01/01/2024	1661.73

EXM_Tracker_Recons = ADDCOLUMNS

    (SUMMARIZE(Test_Placement_Actualisation,Test_Placement_Actualisation[ADVERTISER_CODE],Test_Placement_Actualisation[MONTH_OF_SERVICE]),

    "EXM Reconciled Amount",CALCULATE(SUM(Test_Placement_Actualisation[ACTUALIZED_COST])),

    "Tracker Amount",CALCULATE(SUM(Tracker_Recons[CLIENT_COST]),

    FILTER(ALL('Tracker_Recons'),Tracker_Recons[CLIENT_CODE] = EARLIER('Test_Placement_Actualisation'[ADVERTISER_CODE]) && Tracker_Recons[DATE] = EARLIER(Test_Placement_Actualisation[MONTH_OF_SERVICE]))))

And then I've created a measure to work out the difference

SUM('Prisma_Tracker_Recons'[Tracker Amount]) - SUM('Prisma_Tracker_Recons'[Prisma Reconciled Amount])

on this measure is where I am trying to do the conditional formatting so that if the above calculation = 0 for all rows then the green tick is applied with the conditional formatting and then the red cross if it doesn't match

The data from the 2 tables does match to 2 decimal places, but the measure is showing a scientific number as the value is so small. I have edited the formatting for all tables and the measure to be whole numbers but the issue persists

So based on the below example, I would expect the 401,154 to have a green tick in column B

Hope this helps?

Hi @jyouens 

You may try rounding the numbers visibly in the measure for conditional formatting. For example, 

Rule Measure = ROUND ( SUM ( 'Table'[Column B] ), 0 ) - ROUND ( SUM ( 'Table'[Column A] ), 0 )

You can also choose to use ROUNDDOWN or ROUNDUP per your need. 

Hope this would be helpful.
