Conditional formatting based on a dynamic value (slicer)

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

so, basically every time I change my slicer, a new value is calculated (measure - it´s an avarage)

how do I make a conditional formatting based on this value that changes when I click in a differente slicer?

The ideia is to highlight the values above average for each region, but each region has a different avarage.

Hope I explained well :

@Mariusz  many thanks for the PBI File !! So, I tried to do the same but didn´t have the same result in my PBI file.. when I put the same measure you put, the result in the column was not 1 value.. there was a lot of differente values..

SS below. the SLICER is affecting the measure, even with the ALLSELECTED() inside the calcute. 

@parry2k many thanks for the advice, I put my measure below.

guys, thanks for helping, hope I´m not disturbing you.

@parry2k  @Mariusz  many thanks for helping.

@parry2k I created a new measure: If ( [ COLUMN1 ] > [AVERAGE MEASURE] ; "Red"; "Green" )

but he is formatting all the cells green..

@Mariusz  your solution didn´t work out. PBI doesn´t allow me select your measure.

Hi @Anonymous 

You can create a measure like below.

Measure 
INT( [COLUMN1] > [AVRAGE] ) 

And use this measure for conditonal formating in your table

EDIT:

@Mariusz  i did it, but its not formatting. nothing happens.

@Anonymous sorry couple of things are getting mixed up based on solution @Mariusz  and I are providing.

If you want to compare value in measures to set the color, you should create another measure like I mentione previously but if you are comparing your measure against fixed value then you should choose the method @Mariusz provided.

As you can see there are many option for conditional formatting, you have to see what best fit for you. in case you are comparing two measures I would do something like this

KPI Color= 
SWITCH ( TRUE()
[Measure 1] > [Measure 2], "Green",
[Measure 1] = [Measure 2], "Yellow",
"Red"
)

guys, I really appreciate your effots on helping me.

I don´t know why it didn[´t work out I tried everything.

For some reason PBI is considering all values smaller than average.

@Anonymous it is always good to see what the measure value you are getting at each row. so in the table you showed, drop those two measures whcih you are using in KPI color so that we can see what value you are getting and make sure you are getting expected value otherwise we are shooting the dark, doesn't know what those measures are and how you data models looks like? Read this post to get your answer quickly and it saves everyone time.

Hi @Anonymous 

Have you changed to "Format By" = Rules?

@Anonymous and make sure in conditional formatting, you choose Format by Field Value and then select KPI Color in drop down list

[parry2k]

@Anonymous you can create another measure for KPI Color based on your mesure

for example

KPI Color = IF( [Measure] > 1, "Red", "Green" )

and now you can use this KPI Color  measure on conditional formatting and color will change based on your original measure.
