How to apply conditional colour formatting to Calculation Groups dynamically with Field Parameters?

Please only reply if you know the answer.

Click here to see example PBIX 

It has a Field Parameter for measures:-

• Units sold
• Value of sales
• Packaging cost
• Products sold

Then a Calculation Group with Calculation Items for:-

• TY = this year
• PY = previous year
• YoY = year on year difference (PY – TY)
• YoY%  =  difference %

The first matrix has Units and conditional colour formatting which works ok if amount is below zero.

The second matrix has Values and conditional colour formatting which works ok if amount is below zero.

The third matrix has a Field Parameter. How can I apply the conditional colour formatting if amount is below zero.

I want to learn how to apply conditional colour formatting to Calculation Groups dynamically with Field Parameters.

Thank you

@speedrampsPlease use the below measure in the matrix value section instead of field parameter.

Color Measure =

VAR _selectedValue = SELECTEDVALUE('Calculation group'[Calculation item])

RETURN

    SWITCH (

        TRUE(),

        _selectedValue IN {"PY", "TY","YoY","YoY%"} && MAX('Field parameter'[Parameter Name]) = "Units", [Units],  

        _selectedValue IN {"PY", "TY","YoY","YoY%"} && MAX('Field parameter'[Parameter Name]) = "Value", [Value],   

        _selectedValue IN {"PY", "TY","YoY","YoY%"} && MAX('Field parameter'[Parameter Name]) = "Packaging", [Packaging],  

        _selectedValue IN {"PY", "TY","YoY","YoY%"} && MAX('Field parameter'[Parameter Name]) = "Products", [Products], 

        BLANK()   // Default case (no selection)

    )

and then set the conditional formatting as the given picture by right clicking on the color measure. And you are done..

Hope this help!!

Hello,

This is a good workaround, however it din't work when i selected multiple measures in the field parameter. It works for single measure selected from the field parameter at a time. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Thanks,

Anamika

I will accept that as a solution but leaving the ticket open for more answers.

Many thanks an well done !

I doubt such a possibility of the current version of PBI; so far, it's necessary to manually choose the option(s) in this menu for conditional formatting,

Thanks @ThxAlot  I have alreday tried that. It works and mght be the best workaround until PBI develop a better solution. I will accept solutin if noone has a better method. 👍

Refer the images
1) navigate through image

2) Now after clicking on fx . You will see this pop up which says 1) type of condition  2) on which you want to apply and 3 ) here is the condition in which the values which is applied on  2) point  which you selected it says that the value > = in % and  < 0 in number will have Red  colour.
