PowerBI Column Chart - Conditional Formatting Problem

Hello, I have a simple PowerBI column chart with a few conditional formatting rules:

If value is greater than 0 and less than 6, format blue

If value is greater than or equal to 6 and less than 10, format orange

If value is 10 or greater, format pink.

 

The result is show below - as you can see I'm getting two different colors for the same exact whole number value.  Values of 1 are both blue and orange.  Values of 6 are both orange and pink.

Hi @Anonymous ,

First of all, many thanks to for very quick and effective replies, and I will give some additions below:

1.Create the simple table.

2.Create the new measure to filter conditional formatting.

 

conditional format = 
VAR sel = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Values])
RETURN
IF(sel > 0 && sel < 6, "blue",
    IF(sel >= 6 && sel < 10, "orange",
        IF(sel >= 10 && sel < 100, "pink")
    ) 
)

 

3.Select the color in the Bars pane.

@Anonymous  What's the complete rule for when the value is 10 or greater?

Hello, the complete rule is greater than 10 or less than/equal to 100.  The are no values that would go beyond 100.  Thank you!

@Anonymous  Can you share a snag of your conditional formatting pane the way I did above?

Hi mstone3,

 

Can you please share a sample pbix file? (If you don't know how, please check the pinned thread in the forum.) It would make debugging your issue easier. 🙂
