Conditional formatting all values using text condition
Hi omaffud
Download PBIX file with the example below
You need to create a measure that determines the color, then apply that measure in the Conditional Formatting.
Heres an example measure using Hex color codes, change these to whatever you want. You can look up Hex color codes online, here's one place HTML Color Picker (w3schools.com)
CF =
VAR _status = SELECTEDVALUE('DataTable'[Item Status])
RETURN
SWITCH( TRUE(),
_status = "Cancelled", "#f00",
_status = "Re-Validated", "#ff0",
_status = "PL Rejected", "#f0f",
"#0f0"
)
Then create Conditional Formatting that uses this measure to apply color to the Status column
You can also use well known color names rather than Hex color codes. See section 4.3 here CSS Color Module Level 3 (w3.org)

Phil,
almost there, but as you can see below, most of the times, the color is not being applied.
My code:
StatusColor =VAR _status = SELECTEDVALUE(QuoteItems[ItemStatus])RETURNSWITCH( TRUE(),_status = "Cancelled", "#f16a75",_status = "Re-Validated", "#00ce00",_status = "PL Rejected", "#f16a75",_status = "Quoted", "#00ce00",_status = "Awaiting PL Review", "#ffcc00",_status = "Pending Quote", "#ffcc00","#00ce00")My rule:Any clue?
Thanks in advance,
Omaffud
