Hi,

 

you will still be able to do a conditional formatting.

But you'll probably have to define it in a measure with a SWITCH() function
The bottom example on this link shows you how:

Hi there,

You will need to convert your value to text, in able to do this.
Concatenate will help you along 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/concatenate-function-dax 

Also using symbols as "&" will help you put values together in 1 field. (ex. [text1]&" "&[Text2] = text1 Text2 )

 

Hope this helps.

hi @RobbeVL  - please could you share a sample data demo report showing how this works? I also need to concatenate 2 values in 1 field and have the 2nd value into brackets.

 

In my case, I have 2 values, both are to be shown as count.

 

For example:

 

Quarter   Region      Extra work done (0 - No, 1- Yes)

Q2 2024  APAC              0

Q3 2024  AMER             1

Q4 2024  EMEA             1

Q2 2024  APAC              1

Q3 2024  AMER             1 

 

so my final output should show as a pivot with Region on the rows and count of of work done by quarter on the right plus (extra work done). Appreciate any help on this please

 

Region        Q2 2024       Q3 2024         Q4 2024

APAC               0                1(2)                 0

EMEA              2(4)            3(1)                 2(1)

AMER              2(2)            7(4)                 3(0)

Hi Robbe,

 

Thanks for the prompt response, but if i do concatenate then it will become string / text.

so that i wont able to apply color coding to it right ? 😞
