    Hi ml0911 ,

     

    Apologies for asking again but there must be something in your model that is impacting the relationships or the calculations.


    On a previous post you refer:

     

    "I just removed a blank row from this table and now it allowing a "one to many" relationship, however this has not fixed the issue with the cells not highlighting."

     

    If now you have a one to many relationship using the values from the one side and making the format has reference you should get the colors on all the rows even for blank values because the context is now the dimension table.

    Hi ml0911  ,
    The issue occurs because the conditional formatting measure uses SELECTEDVALUE(), which can return BLANK and prevent coloring in some cells. Switching to MAX() in your color measure will ensure consistent formatting across the row, including for cells with 0.


    RowColor =
    VAR Dept =
    MAX('Group Names'[Simple Group Names])
    RETURN
    SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    Dept = "DPD", "#D9E1F2",
    Dept = "UPD", "#E2EFDA",
    Dept = "TT", "#FFF2CC",
    "#FFFFFF"
    )

    Then keep your conditional formatting set to Format by Field value and use this RowColor measure. This approach ensures the color is applied consistently across all cells in the row, including those displaying 0.
