What are you putting into the conditional formatting? Can you screen shot it?
Remember that a percentage will be recorded as a decimal number. So 50% will actually be 0.50.
Sure, see above :)
yeah, i did notice that the measure comes out as a decimal. Is there anyway to change to display as % (if we can fix the cond form, haha)?
Yes you can format as a percentage, all you need to do is click on the measure (after creating it you need to click elsewhere and click back). In the modelling section of the ribbon, there is an area to select the data type and the data format. You can select Percentage from there.
In the colour by rules, you should be able to select a single condition for each row. That being less than Zero and Greater than or equal to 0. I still would have expected this to work. I notice it is "Font Colour Scales", so part of me also wants to check if the change has happened but is a little subtle?
Here is one that i did on some percentages. This one does red for below zero and green for above 0.
I used a colour gradient instead, but the theory should be similar:
Thanks Anonymous,
