Conditional Formatting with drilldown hierarchy

[Anonymous]

Hey experts,

I am quite at the end of my knowledge after trying to implement a conditional formatting to a value column based on another column field with text like "green","yellow" and "red".

It works fine ....


until in drill down with a slicer:

Here are my filter settings:

The table clearly exhibits the right values. Hence I really don't know, why the conditional formatting doesn't work. Surely it has soemthing to do with the aggregation. Is that so?

How can I colve this challenge?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Hi @Anonymous,

I'd like to suggest you write a measure to lookup value from another table field instead of directly using other table columns, they may not mapping correctly.

If you confused about the coding formula, please share some dummy data with raw table structures and do test coding formula.

@Anonymous , Not very clear. You can create a color measure and use that is conditional formatting with "Field Value" option

examples

Colour = 
SWITCH(TRUE(),
max('Table'[Month Year]) = "Jan-2020", "red",
Max('Table'[Month Year]) < "Feb-2020", "orange",
//keep on adding
"green")

Measure =
Switch(true(),
max(Table[Column]) = "R1" , "Red" ,
max(Table[Column]) = "R2" , "Green" ,
max(Table[Column]) = "R3" , "Pink " 
)

Color sales = if(AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170,"green","red")
Color Year = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Year],2014) <=2016,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))

Color  = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Year],2014) <=2016 && AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170 
,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))
Color sales = if([Sales Today] -[sales yesterday]>0,"green","red")

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"
)
