Hello all,
I have a bit strange request so I will lay out the problem as best as I can.
Basically the idea is to have gradient applied from left to right instead of from top to bottom, but the issue is the columns are 4 seperate measures.
Does anybody have any pointers for me?
Thanks in advance

Hi, @Vashko
According to your description, you want to " have gradient applied from left to right instead of from top to bottom, but the issue is the columns are 4 seperate measures."
Because our default color format is for the entire table; so this can be a little complicated, you can refer to.
Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)This is my test data:
(2)We need to create a new table as a dimension table like this('Table 2'):
(3)Then we need to create two measures like this:
Value Measure = VAR _t=ADDCOLUMNS( SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[Category],'Table'[SubCategory]) , "QTD" , [QTD Measure] ,"6 Mth" , [6 Month Measure],
"12 Mth" , [12 Month Measure] , "2Yr" , [2Yr Measure])
var _cur_column = MAX('Table2'[Column1])
var _cat = VALUES('Table'[Category])
var _sub = VALUES( 'Table'[SubCategory])
var _t2= FILTER( _t, [Category] in _cat && [SubCategory] in _sub)
return
SWITCH( _cur_column ,
"QTD" , SUMX(_t2, [QTD]),
"6Mth",SUMX(_t2, [6 Mth]),
"12Mth",SUMX(_t2, [12 Mth]),
"2Yr",SUMX(_t2, [2Yr])
)
Measure /Color = VAR _t=ADDCOLUMNS( SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[Category],'Table'[SubCategory]) , "QTD" , [QTD Measure] ,"6 Mth" , [6 Month Measure],
"12 Mth" , [12 Month Measure] , "2Yr" , [2Yr Measure])
var _cat= VALUES('Table'[Category])
var _sub = VALUES('Table'[SubCategory])
var _t2= FILTER( _t , [Category] in _cat && [SubCategory] in _sub)
var _list = {sumx(_t2 , [QTD]),SUMX(_t2 ,[6 Mth]), sumx(_t2, [12 Mth]),SUMX(_t2,[2Yr])}
var _value_measure= [Value Measure]
var _rank =COUNTROWS( DISTINCT( FILTER(_list, [Value] <_value_measure)))+1
var _column_count = COUNTROWS(ALL('Table2'))
var _percentage=_rank/_column_count
return
"rgba(80,210,170,"&_percentage&")"
(4)Then we can put the [Value Measure] on the visual and we need to configure the [Measure /Color] as the format:
The result is as follows:
