Data Color Formatting not working properly

Anonymous · ‎01-14-2022

I have set up conditional color formatting for a series of charts in my BI dashboard. The rules I developed are:

In the hierarchy of charts the formatting seems to work for all data points except for a random one as shown in the bar chart below:

I do not understand why that one value is not colored red instead of yellow as shown. All values below 60% should be colored red. Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous

What field is the color coding based on and what is the field used to display % on chart?

They both should be the same field.

The field I am using for color coding is % labor efficiency. It is the same field. It is a calculated value based on other data in the reports feeding the dashboard.

Hi @Anonymous ,

To understand the problem more deeply,it would be best to provide a pbix-file containing the sample data.

You can also try to create measure and use conditional formatting field value :

Color = Switch(true(),
[value_measure] <=2.2&& [value_measure]>=0.9  ,"green",
[[value_measure] <0.9&& [value_measure]>=0.6  ,"yellow",
[value_measure] <0.6&& [value_measure]>=0  ,"red")

Best Regards,
Liang

I am still experiencing where one random bar is not being formatted with the correct color. I did make sure my formatting was as was suggested above. Here is a screenshot from this morning:

The circled value should be colored red and not yellow.

Please provide a sample pbix after deleting sensitive data to let us know your scenario better.https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-provide-sample-data-in-the-Power-BI-Forum/ba-...

I did make the change you suggested and there was no change. That one specific bar didn't change color. Anything other suggestions for what I should try next?
