Conditional formatting On/Off switch

Hi,   I have my matrix with conditional formatting which works fine, but I would love to be able to give the user the option of turning it on and off to just see the figures without the formatting,...

    Hey lherbert501 ,

     

    you can achieve what your are looking for.

     

    Create a simple table with two values: On / Off. Use the column as a slicer, I recommend making the slicer a single select slicer.

     

    Then create a measure that returns a hexcode like "#ffa500" for orange or what ever you need to create your conditional formatting. Wrapt this measure into a second measure like so:

     

    apply conditional formatting =
    var on_off = selectedvalue('<tablenameOnOff>{On/Off] , "Off" )
    return
    if(on_off = "Off" = "On" , [your measure that returns the hexcode] , blank())

     

    Use this measure for the conditional formatting, make sure that you select the "Field value" option as the format style and then select the above measure [apply conditional formatting].

     

    Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for, to tackle your challenge.

     

    Regards,

    Tom
