I have a measure i'd like to format background (not font) of the cell based on the value. I'd like to format background color based on below conditions. Can anyone help with below please?
if(and([NS Growth]<0,[Working Trade Rate Chg]<0,[NS Growth]<[Working Trade Rate Chg]),[NS Growth]/[Working Trade Rate Chg], Format Background in red,
if(and([NS Growth]<0,[Working Trade Rate Chg])>0),[NS Growth]/[Working Trade Rate Chg], Format Background in red,
if(and([NS Growth]>0,[Working Trade Rate Chg])<0),[NS Growth]/[Working Trade Rate Chg], Format Background in green,
if(and([NS Growth]<0,[Working Trade Rate Chg]<0,[NS Growth]>[Working Trade Rate Chg]),[NS Growth]/[Working Trade Rate Chg], Format Background in green)
Solved! Go to Solution.
@dokat create a new measure, called "Background COlor" and then use this measure as conditional formatting using field value
Background Color =
VAR __growth = [NS Growth]
VAR __change = [Working Trade Rate Chg]
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE(),
__growth <0 && __change<0 && __growth <__change, "Red",
__growth <0 && __change<0 && __growth >__change,"Green"
__growth <0 && __change>0, "Red"
__growth >0 && __change<0, "Green"
)
You can change the logic as you see fit, I guess this will give you an idea.
