Conditional formatting based on two values

Hi,

I have a Matrix that shows the number of Leavers and how many of those completed an Exit Interview before leaving, with an Adoption measure to show the percentage of Leavers/Exit Interviewees - as below:

If it is above the 10% target they get a tick, if below they get a cross. 

Really simply - I want to add a conditional formatting rule whereby if the "Leavers" column and "Exit Interviewees" is 0, then they get a neutral icon, as it wouldn't be fair to give them a cross if there were no Leavers to conduct an Exit Interview. Otherwise, continue to follow the rules I've already set if the Adoption is above or below 10%.

Is this possible?

Thanks for any help and assistance.

@jgdgsf2 , You have to use a unichar  measure, where you choose a symbol based on the condition, and then a color measure to do font formatting using the field value option

 

example

/////Arrow
Arrow =
var _change =[Net Sales YTD]-[Net Sales LYTD]
return
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
_change > 0, UNICHAR(9650),
_change = 0, UNICHAR(9654),
_change < 0, UNICHAR(9660)
)


/////Arrow Color
Arrow color =
var _change =[Net Sales YTD]-[Net Sales LYTD]
return
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
_change > 0, "green",
_change = 0, "blue",
_change < 0, "red"
)

 

 

You have to get right unichar https://exceleratorbi.com.au/dax-unichar-function-power-bi/

Hi,

Thanks for your response, but this seems like it'll only work for the "Adoption" measure - I need a rule that works when both "Leavers" and "Exit Interviewees" = 0, show a neutral icon. If not, continue following my conditional formatting rules based on "Adoption" being > or < 10%.
