New Button Slicer (November 2023 Update)- Conditional Formatting
Hi!
This topic is of high-relevance. I expected as well the New "Button Slicer" to have individual conditional formatting options on the buttons, but it appears NOT to be the case - I am affraid (let's hope it is not the case).
The conditional formatting works, but is applied to all buttons, and not individually per button based on e.g. First Field Value (or even a Measure). I tried hard, also not only on Fill but the other options (Shadow, etc.) - no chance.
This is quite disappointing, if it designed so. Let's hope this is a temporary problem, and the new slicer can soon provide such functionality! Otherwise, I am affraid a lot of us will still stick with dirty workarounds (Treemap...).
In general, Power BI is badly missing real "conditional formatting" options... While it is now provided on a lot of formatting elements, and it goes in the right direction, it is not available on some of the most important elements: Clustered Bar Charts (with a few exception of "single measure") and line charts. Every line color in most cases has to be carefully manually selected... when you have dozens of pages, this is such a burden.
Currently playing with other dirty workarounds - images can be individually / dynamically assigned per button... but base64-harded coded colored images as button fill as measure hopefully is not a necessary workaround...
Let's hope for the best, hopefully there is a solution!
