Conditional formatting for bar chart

[joshua1990]

Hello everyone!

I have a simple bar chart with a line.

the bar shows me the actual sales per day and the line shows me the budget.

is there any chance to get a red bar if the sales were for the corresponding day below the line/ budget? 

Best Regards

@joshua1990 , Create a measure which returns, diff between Atual and Budget , And use that for rule-based conditional formatting

Thanks, for your reply!

Please, read my post carefully. I am not looking for conditional formatting in a table.

I am looking for changing the color of bars in a bar chart...

Hey @joshua1990 ,

this measure returns the name of a color that should be applied to a bar if a certain condition is met:

fill Color = 
IF(DIVIDE([Total Sales Amount (PY)] , [Total Sales Amount]) >= 1.2 , "red" , BLANK()) 

This article lists the colors that are supported: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2018/08/10/colour-names-supported-in-power-bi-conditional-formatting/

It's also possible to provide the hexcode of color using e.g "#ba3811".
Here is a visual:

I applied the measure to the Default color of the Data colors well of the chart:

I selected this rule

Hopefully, this is what you are looking for.

Regards,
Tom
