Hi,

How do i apply conditionaly formatting on Actual and forecast data on my chart?

02/23/2022200 (Green line)180 (Red lline)

Venkat

Hi @Anonymous ,

I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you base on your provided info, please check whether that is what you want.

1. Create a measure as below to judge the compare the size of Actual and Forecast

Measure = IF ( SUM ( 'Table'[Actual] ) > SUM ( 'Table'[Forecast] ), 1, 0 )

2. Make conditional formatting on Columns field(not Lines field)

Have struggled in the past and subsequently 'forgotten' how conditional formatting applies to the different visuals.

@Anonymous , if you are using legend, conditional formatting is not supported.

if can use clustered line visual then you can try

 

Try with both columns on the shared axis and concatenate label off, as I discussed in this video

Concatenate Label off : https://youtu.be/QgI0vIGIOOk

 

You will be able to use conditional formatting
