Formatting and Conditional Formatting

Hi guys, 

 

i have a table with a value column. I then Format the value colum since the values are high and not optimal to read. Then i want to apply conditional formatting on the formatted column. But that does not work because probably due to formatting it changed the data type of the column:

Formatting of Measure column is : FORMAT(..,"#,##,,.0 Mio.")

 

How can i achieve that values of column one are displayed as in Measure column but with the bars?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You need to set up two measures, one for the consitional formatting, one for displaying in your visuals.

 

For example:

_sales = SUM(myTable[Sales])

_salesFormat = 
FORMAT(
    [_sales],
    "#,##,,.0 Mio."
)

 

You would use the [_salesFormat] measureto displaythe values as you require on your report, but you would use the [_sales] measure when applying a measure for the conditional formatting to work from.
