Conditional Formatting within Tooltip

Hi I have a measure that shows the Max and Min value in a Matrix - it works no problem.   However, I cannot get this to work as a tooltip - is it even possible?   MinMaxMeasure = VAR ValuesDisp...

    Hi,

    Thanks for the help with this, its much appreciated.

     

    Unfortunately, this isn't the behaviour I'm looking for as a solution, I need the Max & Min month name to be showing in the tooltip, preferably in its own column, your solution doesn't make it immediately obvious what months out of a possible 12 are the Max and Min.

    I will close this ticket and re-open a new one.

    It maybe the fact that what I'm asking for is not even possible so it will be good to re-issue a new version of this ticket to see if that even possible.

    Once again, thanks for all your help!

Hi,

I've tried your latest suggestion and unfortunately it didn't work - it has the same issue as the previous code you provided - it almost works and I prefer the look of this tooltip, could you please check if something can be done with this version first?

 

As you can see, its very close to working but my pbix file was last refreshed in January and so I have no data for Feb & Mar. Is there something that can be tweaked in the following DAX that ignores the future months of the current Fiscal Year? 

 

MinMax Tooltip =
VAR AllTopics =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        ADDCOLUMNS ( VALUES ( 'Cases'[PrimaryTopic2] ), "Value", [Primary Topics] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Cases'[PrimaryTopic2] )
    )
VAR NonBlankValues =
    FILTER ( AllTopics, NOT ISBLANK ( [Value] ) )
VAR MinValue =
    MINX ( NonBlankValues, [Value] )
VAR MaxValue =
    MAXX ( NonBlankValues, [Value] )
VAR CurrentValue = [Primary Topics]
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        CurrentValue = MinValue, "MIN",
        CurrentValue = MaxValue, "MAX",
        BLANK ()
    )

Hi ArchStanton ,


Power BI is picking the wrong 'minimum' month because blank (NULL) values are being treated like the smallest number. The solution is to adjust the measure so it ignores blanks first, then calculates the minimum only from rows that actually contain numbers, and finally returns the month linked to that real minimum. In short, filter out empty values before doing the MIN calculation, so 'no data' doesn’t get mistaken for the lowest data.

Thank you.
