Data Bars Conditional Formatting

Hi,

 

I'm trying to add data bars to a column of a table. The column is formatted as a percentage.

However, I don't see the data bars option under Format your visual/Cell elements.

What do I need to do to make data bars a conditional formatting option, or is it no longer a feature in the latest version (September 2022 update)?

Hi @leahG ,

 

Data bars work with summarised values, check if your percentage column is being considered as dimension with dont summarize, try to switch it to sum or average to get bar as conditional formatting option.

I switched it from "don't summarize" to "sum", and I still don't get the data bars option.
