Conditional format not working on a specific dataset

Hi

 

I have a dataset where i cant format on field value does not work. It just shows red right from the begining when i enter and no matter what i chose it will not be applied.

Somehow it works on other dataset. I have tired to look in all settings in power, but i cant find any solution so it might not be the issue? I have a picture that shows how the drop down on field value just turns red.image.png

Hi @mvbonne ,

 

Hope all is going well.

 

After my testing, I found that if the question you asked is to be displayed normally, there are two prerequisites:

 

  1. It must be a measure value. If it is a Column, it will not run successfully.

 

  1. The measure value must be in Text format, data in other formats will not run successfully.

 

Please try it. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your patience and waiting.
