Missed icons for table conditional formatting

Hi everybody, I think my issue is quite simple but I'm really unable to find a solution. I create a simple table with these data and tried conditional formatting with icons. ...

Hi Anonymous ,

You can use the IF statement to nest, and change the measure: "% CT 2 with area" in the previous demo to the following formula：

% CT 2 with area =
IF (
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Table (2)'[ Area] ),
    DIVIDE (
        SUM ( 'Table (2)'[Qty] ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table (2)'[Qty] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table (2)'[ Area] ) )
    ),
    DIVIDE (
        SUM ( 'Table (2)'[Qty] ),
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table (2)'[Qty] ),
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table (2)'[MercatoAgente] )
        )
    )
)

The way the "Percent" conditional formatting works is different than you think, it doesn't have anything to do with percent of total. It take the lowest and hightest displayed amounts and uses those to determine the formatting bands based on the Percent you entered so your table is looking at these numbers to apply the formatting.

What you want to do is add your value again and display change the "Show value as" > Percent of grand total.

Then apply your conditional formatting to that column based on numbers, not percent.

>= 0, NUMBER < .1 NUMBER

>= .1 NUMBER < .2 NUMBER

>= .2 NUMBER < 1 NUMBER

It'so weird that percentage conditional formatting works this way. Why would it consider the percentage as the range between maximum and minimum?

Anyway, it explains my icons correctly, but if I try to follow your hint, adding the filed again showing as "Percent of grand total", I don't know how to have conditional formatting based on that percentage:

As you can see, I see no icon while formatting 3rd column of my table. It's because I don't know how to suggest to format based on % of ShipmentGross and not just based on Sum of ShipmentGross.

Moreover, if percentual conditional formatting works like you say, why in the following image is 11.438 with red icon? It's the maximum value of its row, so it should be green, and even if it takes max and min from column, than 205.225 should be red.

Thanks you very much for your help

Hi Anonymous ,
The conditional formatting takes the difference between the minimum and maximum values as the cardinality of Percent, not the total.
For the first question, if you want to present the conditional formatting as a percentage of the total, you can try to build a measure, such as the following:
(1)Create a measure to calculate the total percentage：
percentage =
DIVIDE (
SUM ( test[shipmentgross] ),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( test[shipmentgross] ), ALLSELECTED( test ) )
)
(2) Change the Based on field to “percentage”, change “Percent” to “Number”, and modify the corresponding value. The result is as follows：
For the second question, this involves row context in percent calculation of power bi, please try to use these three measure in conditional formatting:
(1)% CT = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Qty]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Qty]),ALLSELECTED('Table'[MercatoAgente])))
(2)% GT = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Qty]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Qty]),ALLSELECTED('Table'[Type])))
(3)% RT = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Qty]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Qty]),ALLSELECTED('Table')))

Here is demo , please try it：

  Thank you v-joesh-msft
  
  Now something is brighter to me, but I still have some issue.
  
  This image shows the table when you use RT measure, it's your 3rd example. Why is 205.225 green? It should be based on percentage based on total (638.310), so it should be red because it's under 50%.
  
  Then, this image shows the table where you used TC (1st example). Why is it all in green? It is based on the column total, so considering SHOP I would expect 668 to be red and 2.580 to be green, related to their column total of 3.248.
  
  Right here, instead, with row total is looks fine, because even with drill down it's green if the value is above 50% of the row total.
  
  Thanks

    Hi Anonymous ,
    Sorry I made a mistake, you need to set the rules to Number and modify the corresponding value, just like the answer in the first question. The setting of RT/CT/GT is all the same：
