Conditional Formatting

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up some conditional formatting for my measure. I'm not having luck with the normal rules option for formatting, so I'm wondering if there is a work around.

My situation is that I have %'s that range from -900% to 900%. I want to color anything that is -20% or below red and anything that is 20% or higher red. 

Any help on this would be great!

@Anonymous , you can create a color measure . Use that in conditional formatting after selecting "field"

example

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"))

Hey @amitchandak 

I was able to put together this formula and it's working for anything that's a positive number, is there a way I can get it to read for negatives too? I tried to make it read as an absolute value, but that didn't help.

IF([Actual Quantites vs Prior Year %]>ABS(.20),"Red","Green")

@Anonymous , it should be like this

IF(ABS([Actual Quantites vs Prior Year %])>.20,"Red","Green")

But might advice would be to create a separate condition for +ive and -ive number

like

switch(true(),

[Actual Quantites vs Prior Year %])>.20 ,"Red",

[Actual Quantites vs Prior Year %])<-.20 ,"Red",

"Green")

Correct logic as per need
