Conditional formatting in matrix table

Dear all,

 

I am creating a matrix table where I have a list of Projects and I would like to visualize the which tollgate each projects are in.

that information is based on the actual start date.

 

How can I create a conditional formatting so that the actual dates are a background color instead (don't want to show the value only the background color)?

    Hi  jalaomar ,

    I created some data:

    Put into the matrix:

    Here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Create measure.

    Measure =
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        MAX('Table'[Date])>=DATE(2019,7,29)&&MAX('Table'[Date])<=DATE(2020,1,1),"red",
        MAX('Table'[Date])>=DATE(2020,1,2)&&MAX('Table'[Date])<=DATE(2020,6,23),"yellow",
        "green")

    2. Format – Conditional formatting – select the Date field – open the Background color.

    3. Enter the Background color interface, Format by – Field value, Based on field – [Measure].

    4. Result:

  • apply the same color rule to the background and to the value.
