Hi All,
I have a bar chart in which I want to colour the bars of the chart for all the values over the 75th quartile.
any ideas please?
the quartile I am calculating as VAR _A =
SUMMARIZE (
'MainFacts',
'MainFacts'[ProvCode],
'MainFacts'[p_spell_id],
"MaxRwCnt", MAX ( MainFacts[RwCnt] )
)
RETURN
PERCENTILEX.INC ( _A, [MaxRwCnt], .75 )
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @SteveIOW ,
According to your description, I create a sample.
And create a measure as you mentioned.
Now for example in the bar chart RwCnt by p_spell_id, if we want to color the bar based on whether the RwCnt greater than the Quartile 7.25. Here's my solution.
1. Create a measure.
Color =
IF (
MAX ( 'MainFacts'[RwCnt] ) >= CALCULATE ( [Quartile], ALL ( 'MainFacts' ) ),
"Red",
"Green"
)
Then in the visual format setting pane, select Bars>Colors>fx.
Select the measure in the field dialoge.
Get the correct result.
I attach my sample below for your reference.
