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?
