Conditioning Formatting Acting Wierd?
Hi HelenaX ,
Yes, your understanding is correct. The created measure is based on a certain calculation logic. Its aggregation operation is included in the created formula and is also related to its filtering context. Its data category cannot be changed. On the contrary, column is effective.
Hope to help you.

Hi HelenaX ,
According to the information you provide, the condition of "based on field" in Conditioning Formatting depends on the type of field.
You can refer to related documents to modify the fields in the data model that apply conditional formatting.

I still don't fully understand why an Added Column can't be sort by field value. It is difficult to know this type of detail when a beginner wants to add a new column and later on notice that it can only be sorted by aggregated values. He/she may not even figure out that a measure would do the work without first creating a measure and comparing it with the Added Column.
Your help is really appreciated!
