Conditional format Card value based on the result on another Card
Hi all,
I am unsure if its possible, but i tried looking around and can't seem to find a way.
Im fairly new using and learning on my own pace PowerBI and had to say this so you know my level... quite basic.
I would like to know if its possible to conditional format color of a Card value, based on the result of another card.
I have some data, and basically it has some items with a column with dates, and column with its status.
In a card1, i display the sum of items up to Today.
And in another card2, i have the sum of items up to today, that are still pending status.
And i would like to color code the result of the card2 , depending on the card1 result.
So if i am having 10 items until today, but only 2 complete, means card1 will show 10 and card2 will display 8 items.
Cant use threshold since each day, the value will be different, if that makes sense...
So would like to be able to display red/green depending if the value is below or (for whatever reason higher) than the card1.
I hope i managed to explain the idea and that there is someone able to help 🙂
Thanks in advance!
Then you will need to create a measure with those filters.
Create the ones bellow
# Items = --Bellow put the column refering to the items being summed SUM('table'[column]) Card 1 Measure = CALCULATE( [# Items], DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date], TODAY() , -1000 , DAY ) ) Card 2 Measure = CALCULATE( [# Items], status[status] in {"Not Started","On Hold","In progress"} ) Conditional formating measure = VAR _carddiff = [Card 2 Measure] - [Card 1 Measure] RETURN IF( _carddiff <> 0, 1, 0)

Hi,
Yes, you can use conditional formating on a card background based on any measure you want. Just click on the fx icon shown bellow. Then add create the measure you want to be analyzed and add a rule to it.
In your example, maybe create a measure like this:
Conditional formating measure = VAR _carddiff = [Measure Card 1] - [Measure Card 2] RETURN IF( _carddiff <> 0, 1, 0)
This will return 1 if the card measures have diferent valuesThen add a rule the if the value is 1 has some colour
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
José
Please mark this answer as the solution if it resolves your issue.
Appreciate your kudos! 🙂Hi, thanks for the reply.
I am unsure in how to make the quick measure with what appears in the Card1/2.Card1 value is basically the total, but to the card i apply some filters in order to obtain the result.
So card1 would be total items, up to today.
and card2 would be total items up to today, not complete.
But, as mentioned, both Card1 and 2 are showing values based on filteres applied to the visual.
Is your method requiring that the calculations are made without filters in the visual? or how i can add the card code so i can complete the formula you suggested for the measure?
thanks in advance!
