I have a simple table visual that I need to apply conditional formatting to a measure and I have been searching all day and trying Copilot and have gotten no where.
This is an example of the table visual.
| Priority | Actual Hours | Percentage of Hours |
| P1 | 15 | 10.7% |
| P2 | 8 | 5.7% |
| P3 | 117 | 83.6% |
| Total | 140 | 100.0% |
My data cloumns are 'KPI'[Actual Hours], 'KPI'[Priority] with a measure to calculate the Percentage of Hours.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@dawaro add a new measure for color and then use this in the conditional formatting using field value:
Color =
VAR __SelectedPriority - SELECTEDVALUE ( 'KPI'[Priority] )
VAR __SelectedPercent = [Percentage of Hours]
VAR __KPIColor = "Red" //of add hex code
RETURN
//I'm using switch for better readability and easy maintenance, you can always IF
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
__SelectedPriority = "P1" && __SelectedPercent > 0.05, __KPIColor,
__SelectedPriority = "P2" && __SelectedPercent > 0.15, __KPIColor,
__SelectedPriority = "P3" && __SelectedPercent < 0.80, __KPIColor
)
