How to set dynamic conditional formatting on color of gauge chart?

Screenshot 2022-12-08 155436.png

 

In my PowerBi report, I have added a guage chart, and applied conditional formatting, based upon 2 values:

  • Target
  • Actual Value

If the actual value is more than target, then the gauge chart will be green otherwise red. Now, based upon the data selected in a multi select drop down, the values of both 'Target' and 'Actual value' changes. Therefore, I want to have a dynamic conditional formatting for the guage chart where the conditional formatting for color is applied correctly according to different targets and their respective actual values.

 

For example:

Target;Actual Value;Color of Chart
8584Red
7779Green
6571Green

 

However, as displayed in the attached screenshot, the highlighted box expects a hardcoded numeric value. Please advise how to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

Hi @v-ankitgupta ,

 

Please try:

Color = IF(SUM('Table'[Actual Value;])>SUM('Table'[Target;]),"Green","Red")

Final output:
