Conditional formatting with a comparaison of 2 number fields

Hi guys,

 

In a table, I would like to set a conditional formatting on a field X  if   Y < Z. Y and Z are numbers.

After many researchs I have not found anything, it seems not developed yet by Microsoft.

 

Do you have some workaround to share please ? 🙂


Thank you

@Anonymous , You can create a color measure

color measure = if([Y] < [Z] , "Green", "red")

You can use that in conditional formatting/data color /. In advance option choose "Field value" and use this meausre.

 

As DAX has pnly one data type of column so checking isnumber will not add any value.
