Conditional formatting on matrix table

[ferk_23]

Hi everyone, 


I have a similar matrix table to this one. I'm using KPI Name and Version as rows, and Month as a column. I want to do conditional formatting on the column month. I want to put a background color with this condition: I need to compare the two versions (A and B) for each KPI Name. So it's going to be something like (but it's not working):

IF((CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Month]), Table[Version]="A", Table[KPI Name]="Safety")) >= (CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Month]),Table[Version]="T", Table[KPI Name]="Safety")), "#1AAB40", "#D64554")

If something can give me a hint, I would really appreciate that.

Best regards,
Fernando

Hi @ferk_23 ,

According to your description, KPI Name and Version as rows and Month as columns are used, and conditional formatting on rows is not supported by design. It is recommended that you create a table visual object.

(1)This is my test data.  

(2)We can create a measure.

color = 
var _a=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Month]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[KPI Name]=MAX('Table'[KPI Name]) && 'Table'[Version]="A"))
var _b=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Month]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[KPI Name]=MAX('Table'[KPI Name]) && 'Table'[Version]="B"))
return IF(_a>= _b,"#1AAB40", "#D64554")

(3)Set the conditional format.

(4)Then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

It worked! I have several months as columns, you also know if it's possible to iterate over the columns and find the column with the previous month? In this case would be October (bc we are in November). The month columns have this format: MMM'YY (Oct'23).

@ferk_23 , Try this out

DifferenceMeasure = IF(
CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Month]), Table[Version] = "A") > CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Month]), Table[Version] = "T"), "#1AAB40", "#D64554")

or

DifferenceMeasure = IF(
CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Month]), ALL(Table), Table[Version] = "A",Table[KPI Name]="Safety") > CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Month]), ALL(Table), Table[Version] = "T",Table[KPI Name]="Safety"), "#1AAB40", "#D64554")
