I have a question...
When using a matrix, is it possible to have conditional formatting based on values in two columns? I'll try my best to explain...
For example:
Row column Value 1 Value 2
Row 1 10 11
Row 2 9 12
Row 3 15 30
I would like the 'Value 1' of 'Row 2' .. (9).. to show in red, as the actual value is lower than the 'Value 2' of that same row.
I tried using the conditional formatting option, but could not find a way for it to work.
Thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.
One Way to do is to create a calculated column using below formaula. This will return 1,0,-1 based on positve, zero and negative result. Then use this column for Conditional Formatting using Rules.
Do share complete data if it doesn't work or your requirement is different.
Column = sign(Table5[Value2] - Table5[Value1])
