Hi There,
I'm attempting to do a conditional formatting with icons to see whether there has been in improvement in 2021 vs 2020.
The values are on the rows and I'm trying to a conditional format where if
2021 value below 2020 by 0% = Red
2021 Value between 0-5% of 2020 = Yellow
2021 Value above 2020 by 5%+ = Green
I have assumed the conditional format as below. I've made a % change vs LY DAX to help calculate the formatting but this also falls into the 2020 number. Is there a calculation i need to perform to enable this conditional format?
Thanks

Hi, @william0076
According to your description, you said that OPFC 2021 and 2020 are in the same column in your dataset. I think you can get the same output using measure and Matrix in Power BI. You can try my steps:
This is my test data based on your description:
2020 OPFC =
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[OPFC]),FILTER('Table',YEAR([Date])=2020))
2021 OPFC =
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[OPFC]),FILTER('Table',YEAR([Date])=2021))
Color =
var _diff=[2021 OPFC]-[2020 OPFC]
var _diffpercent=DIVIDE(_diff,[2020 OPFC])
return
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
_diffpercent<0,"Red",
_diffpercent>=0&&_diffpercent<=0.05,"Yellow",
_diffpercent>0.05,"Green")
And you can get what you want.

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.

Hi, @william0076
According to your description and sample picture, I can understand what you want to get. I suggest you to to use the measure to set the conditional formatting, you can try my steps:
This is my sample data created based on your picture:
Color =
var _diff=MAX('Table'[2021 OPFC])-MAX('Table'[2020 OPFC])
var _diffpercent=DIVIDE(_diff,MAX('Table'[2020 OPFC]))
return
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
_diffpercent<0,"Red",
_diffpercent>=0&&_diffpercent<=0.05,"Yellow",
_diffpercent>0.05,"Green")

Hey Mate,
Thanks for the advice here.
My Date numbers were collated together within the table format (The data comes from a CSV file which collates all the dates in meaning they cannot be split into columns) so i wouldn't be able to split it unless i split the data out at the very beginning.
Is there another way to do the comparison if the data has the be together (OPFC 2021 and 2020 are in the same column)
@william0076 , You may have to do the same using unichar, icon measure and color measure
