Conditional Formatting based on Single Measure

Hi All,

 

I have a matrix table with several columns and rows.  The values are dynamic based on the code below as I had to apply different formats in the same table.

 

How do I apply conditional formatting when I have a single measure? For example, I would like to have Green Background with white font if Total Open $ is greater than Total Pipeline.

@mcpato , Based on what I got

 

Have a measure using the meausres

if([Total Open $] > [Total Pipeline], "Green", "red")

 

Same way create for font, use blank(), if you want default color

 

 

USe the above measures in conditional formatting using the field value option

 

You can create a complex measure using a switch

Hi amitchandak,

 

Thanks for your help I was trying to replicate that but it seems the conditional formatting is highlighting the whole column. I have some filters applied to that table but it seems is not filtering by rows.

This is my field value I'm using for conditional formatting.

And I re defined the Switch Total Open $ measure:

Not sure why is not working, my guess is that the switch total open $ measure (needed for the different formats for the different columns) is causing the issue.

 

Hope you can help me!
