Easy Conditional Format

Is there a simple way to turn minus numbers to red and positive to green.  The whole conditional format dialog per measure is so long winded and convoluted.  Having to setup a large minus number and large positive number per measure is laborius.

I think then you need to create a measure for color setting.

 

measure color = SWITCH(TRUE(),[Measure]>0,"#008000",[Measure]<0,"#FF0000")
 
then choose field value and select the measure for color setting.

Nice, but would I need to write that for every measure I want to colour.

Hi @Si_7777,

 

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

And aslo Thanks to @ryan_mayu  & @BhavinVyas3003  for prompt and useful responce.


Yes, if you want different measures to have dynamic colors based on their own values, you'd typically need a separate color measure for each because each measure has its own logic and values.

If this helped, please mark the response as the accepted solution and give it a thumbs-up so others can benefit too.

Best regards,
Prasanna Kumar

  • Select your Table/Matrix visual.
  • Click on the measure → Conditional formatting → Font color.
  • Choose Format by: Rules
    Based on: Same measure
    Add two rules:
    • If value < 0 → Red #FF0000
    • If value >= 0 → Green #00A000
  • Click OK.

 


Thanks,
Bhavin
