Hi, I am unable to understand how the conditional formatting feature using percent option works.
I have this data set:
Geo | Value |
Global | 0 |
Europe | 1.19 |
United States | 2.14 |
and when I try to apply the following conditional formatting on it:
Only the "Global" value gets highlighted. From what I understood about this feature, both the "Global" and "Europe" values should be highlighted based on this rule, since my understanding is that the percent is calculated the following:
-First value is 0% (Global).
-To determine value for each remaining field, we take 100% and divide by the remaining fields (2 fields). This equals 50% per field.
-Then second value is 50%.
-Third value is 100%.
Geo | Value | Percent |
Global | 0 | 0.00% |
Europe | 1.19 | 50.00% |
United States | 2.14 | 100.00% |
Based on rule (0 <= Value < = 50%), both "Global" and "Europe" would be highlighted.
Microsoft has documentation here, but it's not clear.
Can someone please explain how does the percent feature work in conditional formatting?
Hope this helps:
Thanks, but this doesn't apply to my situation.
If you only have this
Geo | Value |
Global | 0 |
Europe | 1.19 |
United States | 2.14 |
and filter based on percent
How is that calculated in PBI? Why is 0 value for "Global" the only one highlighted?
Hope this helps:
