Hello community
I have a matrix with stores sales as rows and months as columns and I need to format the matrix cells based on the differences of sales between months, so if a store sales in Feb are higher than Jan, this cell should be colored with green, otherwise it should be red
The matrix
Raw Data
I tried to apply solutions provided in this post:
Solved: Conditional formatting based on differences betwee... - Microsoft Power BI Community
but non of them worked for me
Thanks in advance

Hi @ivan_abboud ,
Assume you have a 'DateTable' :
1-Create this calculated column in 'DateTable':
YearMonthIndex = (DateTable[Year])*12+DateTable[Month]
2-Assume Your measure Name is [Sales]=SUM('Table'[SalesAmount]) . Create the measure below:
SalesPrevMonth=
CALCULATE (
[Sales],
FILTER (
ALL ( 'DateTable' ),
'DateTable'[YearmonthIndex]
= MAX ( 'DateTable'[YearmonthIndex] ) - 1
)
)
3-Then Create the measure:
SalesDiff=
[Sales]-[SalesPrevMonth]
4-Then you can set conditional formatting by the [SalesDiff] Measure. (Greater and less than 0 condition on it)
If this answer solves your problem, give it a thumbs up and mark it as an accepted solution so the others would find what they need easier.
