Dynamic Grouping for Tree Map

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a tree map that has dynamic grouping. The measurement is sum of total hours spent on certain categorys. Some categorys would be customer service, auditing, etc. The top 90% of total hours spent will all be default colors set by microsoft. But I would like to block the bottom 10% into a gray color. The issue is when I filter on one of the employees the conditoinal formatting doesn't change color based on the employee I filter on. It doesn't adjust the conditional formatting to the employee I select. 

 

 

Here is how the map is unfiltered. Which is what I want.

This is what happens when the dashboard is filtered by employee. You can see those original grey boxes are still grey. I want the conditional formating (lower 10% grey color) to adjust when the table is filtered.

Want it to look like this when filtered by employee.

I'm not sure if this is possible or not. Thank you!

@Anonymous - it appears that the calculation on which the conditional formatting is based could be tweaked to provide the correct results - could you provide that information, or even better a sample pbix?

Of course, here is the calculation I am using is 

 
% hours worked = DIVIDE( [Hours Worked], CALCULATE( [Hours Worked], ALLSELECTED()),0)
 
Here is the condiontal formatting.

@Anonymous  -

You actually don't need to use a measure for this - the TreeMap % will do the calculation for you on the straight Hours Worked. 

However, as you said, the Treemap locks in the colors and does not update dynamically.

A Hack Work-Around: You can switch a Column Chart, apply your rules and then switch back to a TreeMap. 

Please let us know whether that works.

I hope this helps. If it does, please Mark as a solution.
I also appreciate Kudos.
