Missing Data Bars

Hello,

 

I am trying to add a data bar to my table. It is a measure calcuating  completion percent (number is a decimal formated in percentage). However, data bar is not a option in the conditional formatting field. Anyone know why that would be?Missing Data Bar.png

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Based on my test, everything goes well by this way. Here I create a measure like this and change its format to Percentage as the picture below.

 

Measure = SUM(Table1[sale])/SUM(Table1[amount])

If you create a measure like this.

 

Measure2 = FORMAT(SUM(Table1[sale])/SUM(Table1[amount]),"0.00%")

Then the data bars will missing. So kindly use the first way and try again.

This is the formula that I am using. I am not formating anything and using numbers. The result is s a decimal number. Still no data bars.
