Conditional formatting help required?

[dmoggie]

Hi All,

I Seem to be stuck at what should be quiet a simple task. 

I have a table with four columns (fields) per row. All i want to is highlight each time the value in column 1 is less than any of the other 3 column valves.

As always any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi @dmoggie

You can create the following Measure 

back color = if(COALESCE([Val 1]<[Val 2], [Val 1]<[Val 3], [Val 1]<[Val 4])= BLANK(), "#FFFFFF", "#008000")

then use the Format by Field Value type of conditional formatting

Linkt to Sample pbix, sample.pbix 

Hope this Helps,

Richard

Hi @dmoggie ,

Follow the below steps:

1. Create a new column with below condition:

Color_Column = if(Tablename[Column1] < Tablename[Column3],"Color's Hex Code","")

2. Go to Format -> conditional Formatting -> Enable Background color -> Format by: Field Value and Based on Field: Color_Column

Check below for example(Highlight Column1(Sixes) if No. of Sixes < No. of Fours(Column3)):

Give a thumbs up if this post helped you in any way and mark this post as solution if it solved your query !!!

Assuming that it's measures you have it should be something along the lines of:

Measure = 
IF( [Measure 1] < [Measure 2] , 1 ,
IF( [Measure 1] < [Measure 3] , 1 ,
IF( [Measure 1] < [Measure 4] , 1 , BLANK()
)))

If you're just column aggregating i would recommend creating 4 measures instead:

Measure 1 = SUM(Table[Column1])

etc. 

Finally apply conditional formatting to Measure 1 and use the "Based on field" condition: 

Where you choose the measure written above with the condition 1 = Colored

Hi @dmoggie  - create a measure or a column (depending on what your values are already), that produces 1 if your condition is met and 0 if it doesn't.  Then do conditional formatting on that field, but using the value of the new measure/column.

Hope this helps

@dmoggie , create a color measure like this and use that in conditional formatting with "Field" option

color =
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum(Table[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum(Table[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
/// Add more conditions
"red"
)
