Hello,
I can't seem to get conditional formatting to work properly for vertical (nor horizontal) gridlines. I have a calculated measure which in this scenario contains values between -0.5 and 0.5, which I want to help visualize with vertical gridlines. I add conditional formatting, but the result is that all the lines have the exact same color. I have included screenshots below to illustrate it:View of the scatter plot with identical vertical gridlines.
Screen of the scatter plot. The x-axis contains values between -0.3 and 0.4 (values assigned automatically).Conditional format (gradient) where -0.5 is supposed to be colored in red, and 0.5 to be colored in green.
Conditional formatting for the vertical gridlines. The formatting is based on the field which is used for the scatter plot's x-axis.
Same issue with conditional formatting rules. To me it appears that the formatting is just using one value, the max value of the field column it's based on, which is not much different from using a single color, which is not what I need.
Alternatively, I would like to just have one vertical gridline for the value 0, but I haven't found a way to do that either.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@amitchandak, thank you for the clarification. As for what I was looking for, I think it's under the Analytics tab, so I can disregard special formatting for the gridlines.
