Conditional Formatting Scatter Chart

Hi,

 

How do I change the colour depending on the location on the graph,

 

Values that add up to 1-3 red, 4- 5 orange and 6-8 green

I have created a calculated column summing the numerical value of Priority and Effort.

 

These values are between 1 and 8 but I am unsure where to go from here. 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my test, you could refer to below step:

Create measure:

Measure = SWITCH(TRUE(),CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Iterm]))<=2,"#FF4136",CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Iterm]))<=4,"#FFDC00","#2ECC40")
And open the Advanced controls in data color to modify your color:

Hi,

I also want to use conditional formatting for a scatter chart. My current chart shows volume on the X-as and unit margin on the Y-as per customer. The customer name is shown per dot.

 

Additional I want to use conditional colouring on the dots for example:

Blue dots - customers from the US

Green dots- customers from Europe

Purple dots - customers from Asia

 

Can someone help me? Thanks

Hi @v-danhe-msft, I'm using Aug 19 desktop and don't have the advanced colour option for conditional formatting (see above). Any thoughts upon why this could be please?

 

 

Yes, as @Anonymous notes, the "Advanced controls" has disappeared! Even now on May 2020 release!

 

Badly need transparency - please vote here, and Conditional Formatting would be great too. Bring it back urgently!
