    V-lianl-msft  Sorry, this is not working for me, maybe something I am doing wrong .

    I need to color code the background color for work hours based on the categorydesc field. 

     

    Labor - Daily - green

    Labor - Hourly - green

    Labor - Salary - green

    Vacation - orange

    Holiday - black

    When the work hours are 0 or no value the color should be pink.

    When the date falls on a weekend that entire column should be yellow regardless if hours are reported.

     

    Please see my sample.  I do not know how to save this in a clound service.

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      Based on the sample data you provided, I get the result you expect.

      Measure = SWITCH(TRUE(),
                WEEKDAY(MAX(Sheet1[weekdate]),2)in{6,7},"yellow",
                MAX(Sheet1[hours])=0||ISBLANK(MAX(Sheet1[hours])),"pink",
                MAX(Sheet1[categorydesc ])="Holiday","black",
                MAX(Sheet1[categorydesc ])="Vacation","orange",
                MAX(Sheet1[categorydesc ])="Labor - Daily","green",
                MAX(Sheet1[categorydesc ])="Labor - Hourly ","green",
                MAX(Sheet1[categorydesc ])="Labor - Salary","green",
                "white")

      Here is the sample pbix

       

      Best Regards,
      Liang
