Hi
How can I change the Background Colour to Red if the Field = "Expired"
Also if the Days to Ins Expiry < 45 then i want the background to be yellow
See example below:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Sean-OReilly ,
Please try this:
Expired =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
[Days to Ins Expiry] = "Expired", "Red",
[Days to Ins Expiry] < 45, "Yellow"
)
@Sean-OReilly , better to create a color measure. And use that in conditional formatting using "Field value" option
example:
color =
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum('Table'[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum('Table'[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
// Add more conditions
"red"
)

Hi Amitchandak, thanks for your reply
I see where you are coming from.
I cannot use the below formula though as the "days to ins expiry" field is a measure not a column
Can i do something similar using a measure?
Hi @Sean-OReilly ,
