Conditional formatting based on date

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone!

I am having some issues attempting to create a measure to conditionally format matrix columns based on date. 

Here is what I am trying to do:

In a Rolling 12 Month Sales visual, I would like to shade all cells where the month/year is before the Client's Go-Live Date, which in my visual ideally would look like this:

I created the following measure:

Before Go-Live = IF(MIN('Calendar'[Date])<MAX('Sales'[Actual Go-Live]),0,1)

And then set up the conditional formatting this way:

But the cells being shaded are those with a value only, and only in the same Month/Year as the client's Go-Live date. The preceding blank cells are not shaded. Here is the result when I turn it on:

How do I get all cells prior to the client's Go-Live date shaded?

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

It seems that your measure didnt return a true value,can you show me your .pbix file?If it's not convenient ,can you take a screenshot of the columns which you put in the matrix visual?

Kelly

Hi Kelly! I am unable to share the pbix but here are some screenshots. The rows/columns/values for the matrix, the tables used, the relationship and the First 12 measure used in the table. Hope this helps, it is all I can provide. I appreciate it!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Believe this is related with the fact that you have blanks and not 0 try to add a +0 to your measure and check if it works properly.

@MFelix Thanks for the reply! I am not sure what you mean though: where exactly in the measure do I add "+0"?

Thank you!

Try to redo your measure

Before Go-Live = IF(MIN('Calendar'[Date])<MAX('Sales'[Actual Go-Live]),0,1) + 0

Be aware that not really sure if this will work, if you can share a sample file if it doesn't work would be helpfull to give you the correct answer.

@MFelix  Ah I see. I gave this a try and nothing changed. Unfortunately I do not have a sample file that I am able to share at this time but I will try to get something put together that is shareable. Thank you for your help!
