Conditional formatting of a subtotal that has the same value as total

Hello Power BI Community

 

I need you're help to format my matrix, so I have the value of total(B) that have the same value of the subtotal(B) and I need to format one of them to white so it'll not show me the same value twice.

 

I tried to create a measure to change the color based on a condition but It changes the colors of the two values total and subtotal (the two B)

Any one can give me an idea to work on this issue

Hi, @Anonymous ;

You could create a column as new subcate.

Column = IF([Cate]=[Subcate],BLANK(),[Subcate])

Then create a measure.

Measure = 
IF(ISINSCOPE('Table'[Ssub]),SUM('Table'[value]),
IF(ISINSCOPE('Table'[Column])&&MAX('Table'[Column])=BLANK(),BLANK(),SUM('Table'[value])))

The final show:

@Anonymous , You can use isinscope or if needed the value and create a color measure and use that in conditional formatting using field value option

 

if(isinscope(Table[B]) , "Yellow", "White")

 

How to do conditional formatting by measure and apply it on pie?

I tried it and it changes the color of the level 1 and 2 they consider it as a total
