Conditional formating

Hi to All,

 

I want to create a conditional formating for status ( See below picture for details ) and when I want to create rules it seems only can set for value or numbers in a range. Can any one give me some suggestions on how to do this? For example I want to set color for Production as green and Active for blue, etc.

Hi Larry,

Create one calculated column from Status column:

conditional = switch('Table'[status],"Production",1,"active", 2,0)
And apply below conditional formatting on Status column:

Hi Mohityash,
When I'm trying to use your suggested solution, after Switch, my desire table does not appear as an option, only the measures I've created. (see below)
Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for the help on this issue and it works well for me😊

If Power BI allows us to create rule not only for numbers but also for texts, like in this case and it will be better.

 

Have a nice day!
