Matrix Table - Formatting

Hi all, I hope all is well! I have a client that would like a specific form of formatting for a Matrix table they'd like to implement:

  • They would like to highlight the numbers in the 2025 column that differ from the numbers in the 2024 column.
  • [In the example below this would be the Likelihood and Controllability scores.]
  • They want to have these differences stand out from those numbers that did not change.

 

Is there any way to do that with a Matrix table or in general?


Thanks a bunch in advance!

You will need a measure that picksup the previous year's value and compare that with the current and build conditional formatting on to of it.

 

Below is just a sample conditional formatting measure to be used as field. Actual measure will vary depending on the structure of your model.

conditinal formatting =
VAR _ly =
    CALCULATE (
        [aggregation],
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'table'[year] ), 'table'[year] = MAX ( 'table'[year] ) - 1 )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( [aggregation] <> _ly, "yellow" )

Hi all,

 

Hope all is well! Thanks a bunch for providing!! 😄 I had a feeling it was some sort of measure/column to implement lol

 

I attempted applying the Measure structure provided but  think this is where my PBI limitations start to show haha

I entered the below Formula but Im not exactly getting the result I was looking for. Could I have entered the formula incorrectly? (with conditional formatting applied)

conditinal formatting2 = 
VAR _lys2 =
CALCULATE (MAX(
'RPNs-2'[Value - Copy]),
FILTER(ALL('RPNs-2'[RPN Year]),'RPNs-2'[RPN Year]= MAX('RPNs-2'[RPN Year] )
))
VAR _ly2 =
CALCULATE (MAX(
'RPNs-2'[Value - Copy]),
FILTER(ALL('RPNs-2'[RPN Year]),'RPNs-2'[RPN Year]= (MAX ( 'RPNs-2'[RPN Year] ) - 1 ) )
)
RETURN
IF ( _lys2 > _ly2, "yellow" )

Heres a lil sample of the dataset Im working with for consideration:kcdavi01_2-1741803599223.png

Thanks in advance again for any guidance you can provide!!

You need a new measure that is the variance of the two years.  Then set conditional formatting on the column you want to highlight based on that measure.
