Decomposition Conditional Formatting

Hi Team,
I have decomposition tree with 3 levels as shown below.
Requirement: In this hierarchy, I would need:
1. All 'Yes' nodes in Blue color
2. Level A node 'No' should be in Black
3. Level B node 'No' should be in Amber
4. Level C node 'No' should be in Grey

Hi @BSM1985 ,

 

Try to add the following custom measure:

 

Measure = SWITCH(
                   TRUE();
                   SELECTEDVALUE(Testing[A]) = "NO";"Black";
                   SELECTEDVALUE(Testing[B]) = "NO";"#FFC200";
                   SELECTEDVALUE(Testing[C]) = "NO";"Grey"
                 )

 

 

You can also change the Black and Grey to other custom colour codes just remember to place the # before the code.

@MFelix 

I would like to display on my decomposition tree the "Names" columns with the colors in the "Color" columns respectively.
How can I do that?
I tried with a measure like Switch(True(),Selectvalue(Name1),color) but it doesn't work for me.

Hi @eli9879 ,

 

Not sure if I understand what you mean by "Names" columns with the colors in the "Color" columns respectively.

 

Try to create the following measure:

Color Coding = SWITCH(TRUE(),
                    ISINSCOPE('Table'[Name3]), SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Color3]),
                    ISINSCOPE('Table'[Name2]), SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Color2]),
                    ISINSCOPE('Table'[Name1]), SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Color1]))

Be carefull with the order of the columns since the switch function stops at the first result:

Sorry @MFelix 

I was not clear. This works for one node, not for all as shown below. I would need different color for each 'No' for each node as shown in below screenshot.CF2.png

Hi @BSM1985 ,

 

Believe that has to do with the order of the function try:

Measure =
SWITCH (
    TRUE ();
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Testing[C] ) = "NO"; "Grey";
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Testing[C] ) = "Yes"; "Blue";
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Testing[B] ) = "NO"; "#FFC200";
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Testing[B] ) = "Yes"; "Blue";
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Testing[A] ) = "No"; "Black";
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Testing[A] ) = "Yes"; "Blue"
)
