Creating a column in report based on live connection with dataset

[srlabhe]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a column in report which is based on previously built dataset but it doesnt give me create a new column.

The scenario is below 

I wanted create a conditional column like 

if Vendor Primary = Vendor Account No then 1 else 0 and then base don that i will highlight the row with some background color.

Create column option is not available when I right click on table

Ideas appreciated....

Is it possible that you're on direct query mode? You can't create new columns in a table on direct query. 
But if you still want to do conditional formatting, you don't need to create a calculated column, just create a measure and format based on that.

Yes i am on DQ mode, also how would we create measure comparing two column values?

Hi @srlabhe 

You can refer to the following measure

Measure =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Vendor Primary] )
        = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Vendor Account] ),
    1,
    0
)

Then put the field to the conditional formatting

Best Regards!
