Conditional formatting/background color/based on percentile

Hello,

I have a requirement to mimic the conditional formatting shown below from an Excel report. Specifically, I need the midpoint to be defined as a percentile rather than a number. Does Power BI offer this functionality? Is there a trick/work-around? Is there possibly a third party control?

As always, thank you for your time and effort.

Bob

 

Excel - Define formatting rules

 

Power BI - Define formatting rules (no selection available for percentile) 

 

 

  • bob57 , I doubt that. You can measure that based on percentile and do conditional formatting using that.

  • bob57 - No, not like that, you would have to create a measure that returned percentages and then set all of your thresholds based upon that, you can't mix and match in Power BI like in Excel.
