Hi everyone!
I want to filter in Power BI by thresholds.
The filter should be able to show the following:
If threshold value is above 3 (per month) then set highlighting
and
If threshold value is above 5 (in 3 months) then set highlighting
But how can I filter this?
As you can see in the picture, numbers are also highlighted there, although they were below the threshold in the respective months. (e.g. number 7391886)
Can you help me to filter this correctly?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi @Anonymous ,
I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want.
1. Create a measure as below to make conditional formatting
Conditional formatting =
VAR _tab =
SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[date].[Month], "@qty", SUM ( 'Table'[qty] ) )
VAR _qty =
SUMX ( _tab, [@qty] )
VAR _count =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( _tab, [@qty] > 3 ) )
RETURN
IF (
_count > 0,
IF (
(
ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[order] ) || ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[item] )
|| ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[date] )
),
IF ( _qty > 3, "red" ),
IF ( _qty > 5, "red" )
)
)
2. Configure conditional formatting
If the above one can't help you get the expected result, please clarify which numbers in your screenshot meet those two conditions you mentioned? And in order to provide you with a suitable solution, could you please provide some sample data(exclude sensitive data) and the Fields settings of your matrix. If there are measures involved, please provide their formulas. Thank you.
If threshold value is above 3 (per month) then set highlighting
and
If threshold value is above 5 (in 3 months) then set highlighting
Best Regards

@Anonymous , You can create a measure like this example and force different conditional formatting in row and total using field value option
if( not(isinscope('Date'[Month])),
Switch( true() ,
[Measure ] < 5 , "Red", "White") ,
Switch( true() ,
[Measure ] < 3, "Red", "White")
)
In case you need 3 month measure
Rolling 3 =
var _max = maxx(allselcted(date),date[date]) // or today()
var _min = date(year(_max), month(_max)-3,1)
return
CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(date, date[date] <=_max && date[date] >=_min))
or
Rolling 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-3,MONTH))
Then create a color measure
if( not(isinscope('Date'[Month])),
Switch( true() ,
[Rolling 3 ] < 5 , "Red", "White") ,
Switch( true() ,
[Rolling 3 ] < 3, "Red", "White")
)
