I want to create a Heat Map as shown in below figure with same background colours. I am having Values for Likelihood(4 and 5) and Impact(3, 4 and 5). And in the cells in need to show the count of Risk ID.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Manikanta2108,
I have created a sample report with heat map. Using/Referring this report you can achieve your requirement. Please follow the steps to achieve.
Step1: I hope you have data of Risk ID, Likelihood and Impact.
Step2: Create a measures for Risk Score & Risk Severity.
Risk Score = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Likelihood]) * SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Impact])
Risk Severity =
VAR Score = [Risk Score] // SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Likelihood]) * SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Impact])
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
Score >= 20, "Critical",
Score >= 12, "High",
Score >= 6, "Medium",
Score >= 3, "Low",
"Informational"
)
Step3: Create a Matrix Visual
Visual: Matrix
Rows: Likelihood
Columns: Impact
Values: Count/FirstName of Risk ID
Step 5: Apply Conditional Formatting
To color cells based on the severity, do this:
Click the Values section in the Matrix
Click the dropdown → Conditional Formatting → Background color
Choose Rules
Set up rules based on Risk Score
I am also attching a .pbix file for you refreence.

Hi @ajaybabuinturi the background colour is applying for Count of risk ID facing issue for background colors
Its not coming properly.
Currently, I am having only values for Impact is 3 and 4 and for likelihood i am having 3, 4 and 5. I don't have data for 1 ,2 and 3 values i need to show empty data but need background colurs for 1,2 and 3 values as shown in below figure
This the sample data set i have and i need to create risk heat map like below picture with same background and need to show Count of riskid as values in cells.
To get rows (Likelihood) and columns (Impact) from 1 to 5.
1. Need to create a separate dimension table for Likelihood and Impact as below.
ImpactTable = GENERATESERIES(1, 5, 1)
LikelihoodTable = GENERATESERIES(1, 5, 1)
2. Then create relationships:
Table (2)[Impact] → ImpactTable[Value]
Table (2)[Likelihood] → LikelihoodTable[Value]
3. Enable show items with no data for rows and columns.
Power BI will now show all 1–5 combinations, even those with no matching RiskID and you can still apply conditional formatting based on calculated scores.
4. Apply your conditional formating using measure or rules.
5. You can follow the remaing steps mentioned in previous response.

Is this relationship is correct? because i am getting same output
Hi @Manikanta2108,
Did you refer attached file?
It's correct but you need use dimtables as columns and rows.

Try this
Create some test data
Create a dax measure, but use your own colour bandings
RAG =
var myscrore = SUM(yourdata[Score])
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
myscrore <3, "Green",
myscrore <6, "YelloW",
"Red"
)
Draw a matrix visual
In conditional formating select "Field Value" and specify your DAX name
It works ! So please click thumbs up and the [accept solution] button. Thank you
