Conditional formatting

Hi,

I set up a measure to apply conditional formatting to a table visual according to the measure's value

 

ZoneSelectedWeek = if(ISBLANK(SELECTEDVALUE(Weekly_Extract[WeekNo])),1,2)
 
The measure works correctly, it's value changes whether week no is selected or not
 
Now I'm trying to format the background of a column so that if the measure is 1 background is grey or if measure is 2 background is red
 
My background color format settings

The issue is that no matter what value the measure has the background is always red. Tried also with 0 and 1 for measure values but same result

 

Any help pls?

 

Thanks

Hi  @marvicf ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

ZoneSelectedWeek =
IF(
    HASONEVALUE('TWeekly_Extract'[WeekNo]),1,2)
color =
IF(
    [ZoneSelectedWeek]=1,"grey","red")

2. Format – Background – fx.

3. Go to the Color – Effects interface – [color].

4. Result:

Displayed in Gray when selected:

Displayed in red when not selected:

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks for your reply.

This works for a card visual but can't get it to work for the background of a table visual column. Column background is set to grey and remains grey whether selected or not

Thanks and regards

@marvicf , Try a measure like

 

ZoneSelectedWeek = if(calculate(isfiltered(Weekly_Extract[WeekNo]), allselected() ),2,1)

Hi and thanks for your reply

 

Tried the measure you suggested but still no luck. The measure is working fine as I assigned it to a card visual to see its value and when I select the week it's value changes. The issue is that in the table visual the column background is always the color for value 2 and won't change after that

Thanks
