Conditional Formatting based on rules with dynamic conditions from slicer selection

[Keshavpooja]

Hi Experts,

I have a conditional formatting set in a Matrix based on rules which checks for the values in certain range and display traffic light icons accordingly. The screenshot is atttached below.

Now I would need to change this logic of threshold check based on slicer selection. For instance, when the user selects Market=A, the above threshold shown in the image should work i.e. Red Light=0-0.5, Yellow Light=0.5-0.9, Green Light=0.9-1. When the user selects Market=B, the threshold check should be Red=0-0.7, Yellow=0.7-0.8, Green=0.8-1

Could you pls guide me with this approach 

Mvh,

Kesavan.

@Keshavpooja Although @negi007 has provided the solution if tomorrow there is another change, you have to come and update the measure and I always think of the solution from the scalability point of view. Check my video on conditional formatting where you store the data in an external source and any future change can be easily made without making the changes in the model. https://youtu.be/s3riB6EtqkY

Just my 2 cents.

@Keshavpooja where is the logic for each customer that drives the range? Do you have it in a table somewhere?

Hi,

As shown in the image, the threshold value ranges are directly used in the Rules and not stored anywhere in table. Until now all the Markets have been following the same threshold but now one of the Markets is going to follow a different threshold which i am not sure how to implement.

@Keshavpooja in this case, i suggest you to create a calc column like below there you can define sepeate condition for market A and Other markets.

So you can code color green with 1 and yellow with 2 and red with 3 like below

Color_coding =

var _sla_va = 'Table'[SLA Fullment]

return

if ('Table'[Market] = "A" ,

SWITCH(TRUE(),

_sla_va>=0.9,1,

_sla_va>=0.5,2,

_sla_va>=0,3

),

SWITCH(TRUE(),

_sla_va>=0.8,1,

_sla_va>=0.7,2,

_sla_va>=0,3

)

)

then in the conditional formatting of your matrix you can put condition like below

below is the final output

i have attached the pbix file for your reference as well.

Hi @negi007 ,

Thanks a lot for your quick help with a solution. I had a look at your pbix file.

In my case the market field is not available in the same table on which matrix is built on. Hence i could not build Calc.Column. The market field is coming from another table and there is a slicer on Market where the user selects the market and runs the report. In such case, how can we capture the market selected by the user inside the calculation logic that you have provided.
