Hi all,
I have a weird issue I hope you can help me with.
Background info: I am attempting to set up an Income Statement using this method:

I have added my report structure via a connected Excel file. I want to add conditional formatting to highlight certain rows, if they are headings or subtotal. To do that, I have a column in excel "Highlight" that is 1 if it should be formatted or 0 if not.
I set up my conditional formatting like this:
The same rule for font colour. It works perfectly.
HOWEVER, when I go to add a measure to the table, the formatting disappears:
The measure is a SWITCH statement, if that has any relevance.
I can still see the conditional formatting rules, but they are obviously not applying.
Any assistance appreciated. Thank you.
Actually, I got ahead of myself. I just applied conditional formatting to the Note column (background if text = Blue) and it works:
However, as soon as I remove the Colour measure from the visual, the formatting disappears.
Very frustrating.
@winterbloom , That is strange.
If the highlight is a column create a measure like the one below and use that in conditional formatting using the field value option
If(round(max(Table[highlight]),0) =1, "Blue", "white")
