How to select field for Conditional formatting

Hello friends,

 

I want to add Conditional Formatting for my Table Visual, and it suppoed to be based on value of a field. 

Open this function in Format :

But I can't choose it, any reason why ?

 

Thanks

  • admin_xlsior , you should be able to choose a measure or column, They should return text, field value except color are returning

     

    example

     

    Color sales = if(AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170,"green","red")
    Color Year = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Year],2014) <=2016,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))

     

     

    Color = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Year],2014) <=2016 && AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170
    ,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))

      Hi amitchandak 

       

      Actually, I only need to choose column ->

      I also thought it is should be simple, but the fact is I cannot choose it, it is stay like my first image, so cannot select it.

       

      To be honest I think I have this problem before, if not mistaken, but it is long time ago and I forget why and how to resolve it ğŸ˜…

       

      Thanks,

        Ahh... my bad, I supposed to select Format by : Rule instead Field value.

        Sorry for the trouble. 

        Thanks
