Are we able to conditional format a value based off a what-if parameter input. For example I have the following column "Percentage" along with a what-if parameter called "threshold". I want to highlight any row that is less that whats in "threshold".
Example table:
Is this even possible? I tried to use the format by field value without any luck. Any direction is appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@HS_PDS create a measure for color to check the threshold and then use that measure to highlight for conditional formatting.
Below Threshold color =
IF ( [Your Measure] <= [Threshold Value], "Red" )

Thanks for that wonderful tip!@parry2k
