Conditional Formatting using DAX measure

Hello there,

 

I'm trying to do a conditional formatting using a dax measure. I need to add a conditional format to the column vFCT based on a month progress:

Progress = (DAY(TODAY())-1)/DAY(EOMONTH(TODAY();1))
 
The problem is in conditional format based on field value:

i cannot select the measure.
 
Any suggestion?
 
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dvilches_ ,

This is conditional formatting of background color, so I think the measure need to return the color code. I think you need to change measure like below to see whether it work or not.

 

Measure = var  aa=(DAY(TODAY())-1)/DAY(EOMONTH(TODAY(),1))  return SWITCH(TRUE(),aa<0, "#fcba03", aa<0.05,"#aaf0ad", aa<1, "#b8ecf5",aa>=1,"#c7acfc")

Hi @Dvilches_ ,

 

It looks like your Measure has a numeric value.

 

For the Field value Conditional Formatting your data should be either in Text value or in Hex code.

why dont you use Rules condiitonal formatting in your case. you can specify the range you want to highlight.

 

Thanks,
