Conditional formatting with measure on criteria

Hi Expert

 

Based on this question, I got deeper equation on data and would like to apply conditional format with color code on different threshold.

 

example:

                            Jan-2020  Feb-2020  Mar-2020  Apr-2020

commodity1         data         data          data          data

commodity2         data         data          data          data

commodity3         data         data          data          data

 

Data threhold1 =  initial goal + 1 *2.57* SQRT(initial goal*(1- initial goal)/base)

Data threhold2 =  initial goal + 2 *2.57* SQRT(initial goal*(1- initial goal)/base)

Data threhold3 =  initial goal + 3 *2.57* SQRT(initial goal*(1- initial goal)/base)

*initial goal is different upon commodity

*base is differnt upon month usage or commodity

 

With data threhold1 to 3, would like to apply different color code, like green, yellow, red

thanks

@yuhkao , You can create a measure like this. And used it with Field option in conditional formatting

Color  = if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Year],2014) <=2016 && AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170 
,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))
Color sales = if([Sales Today] -[sales yesterday]>0,"green","red")

color =
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum(Table[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum(Table[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
/// Add more conditions
"red"
)
