How to create a colored block

Hi babyjb1979 ,

 

That calls for conditional formatting on a shape. Here's a video tutorial

Hi babyjb1979

You haven't provided a lot of detail so I don't know exactly how you want this implemented.  

 

But if you take this sample data (see file above)

 

 

and create a measure using this DAX.  It checks whether the slicer has anything selected, then sets a color accordingly

 

 

 

Block Color = IF(ISFILTERED('DataTable'[Thing]), IF(SELECTEDVALUE('DataTable'[a]) = SELECTEDVALUE('DataTable'[b]), "#0F0", "#F00"), "#FFF")

 

 

 

I'm using a card visual to act as the box with the color.  You could other things like a shape, or you could use a cell in a table.

 

Create a conditional formatting rule for the box that sets the color for the background and the text in the box.  If both are the same it looks like there's no text, just a colored box.

 

Select the card visual then in Visualizations -> Format -> Visual -> Callout value click the fx button to create the conditional formatting rule

 

 

 

Repeat those steps for the background of the card visual.  You'll find this in General -> Effects -> Background -> fx button

 

Heres' the conditional formatting rule.  It's the same for the background and the text in the card

 

 

 

Use the slicer to select diffwerent 'Things', so for values that are the same

 

 

and not the same

 

 

If you need it implemented differently, please post sample data and a clear, detailed explanation of what it is you need.

 

Regards
