Conditional formatting colour for column chart
Is it possible to make a column chart with measure as the value to have conditional formatting? This is how it is now.
Thanks.
If you have something in the legend field, you cannot use formatting.
However, I think from the picture, that you do not have anything in the axis field of your column chart.
Please put something in the axis, and check again. It can be a disassociated table with a single value if really needed. When applying custom formatting, make sure you hover your mouse over the ellipsis to make it show.
Otherwise, I suggest if you are only displaying one value, you could use a CARD visual, and format the background using the same conditional formatting found in background attributes.
If you want to show the target other options could be a KPI, GUAGE, or the custom visual CARD WITH STATES by sqlbi.

Anonymous Did you tried this way ? If not, please do and post any questions.
Infortunately I am not getting a conditional formatting button. This is how it looks like for me
Anonymous There will be a small ellipse button on the right side as shown below (it looks like hidden, may be due to the light background as well)
