Conditional formatting for colours in Stacked column chart

[Shubha_Udyawar]

Hi,

I want to conditional format a stacked column chart. I mean , the negative values should be turned to red. I am able to do it when i have a single value column but when i add one more column, the conditonal colour formatting option goes away. Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Shubha_Udyawar ,

That has to do with the caractheristics of the chart type when adding additional columns the values start to be stacked so the condittional stops working.

If you are only adding 2 columns one work around can be create 4 measures (2 for positive and 2 for negatives)

SUM NEGATIVE 1 = IF(SUM('Table'[Column1])>0 ;BLANK();SUM('Table'[Column1]))
SUM POSITVE 1 = IF(SUM('Table'[Column1])<0 ;BLANK();SUM('Table'[Column1]))
SUM NEGATIVE 2 = IF(SUM('Table'[Column2])>0 ;BLANK();SUM('Table'[Column2]))
SUM POSITIVE 2 = IF(SUM('Table'[Column2])<0 ;BLANK();SUM('Table'[Column2]))

Now just colour your 2 negative measure as red.

Olá Miguel Félix,

É possível usar uma alternativa semelhante com 2 colunas e 4 cores? uma das colunas pode ter 3 cores diferentes.

Thank You

Boa noite,

Em principio sim a única questão que se coloca é qual o limite para que cada cor fique ativa então em vez de ser o formato anterior teria de ser algo similar:

SUM NEGATIVE 1 = IF(SUM('Table'[Column1])>0 ;BLANK();SUM('Table'[Column1]))
SUM POSITVE until 1000 = IF(SUM('Table'[Column1])>0 && SUM('Table'[Column1])<= 1000; SUM('Table'[Column1]);BLANK();SUM('Table'[Column1]))
SUM POSITVE above 1000 = IF(SUM('Table'[Column1])>1000
; SUM('Table'[Column1]);BLANK();SUM('Table'[Column1]))

@MFelix ,

Thank you and my apologies too. I have a correction in my question, what if one of them is a column and the other one is a measure ? Can i still use this as a solution?

@MFelix ,

Thank you so much, that did work for me.
Now, the colours are showing as i wanted but there are 4 legends instead of two. So I think ill just go ahead and turn off the legends.

Glad I could help, please mark the correct answer.
