Revenue/Expenses: Data bar for both to run left to right? (Matrix)

[michellepace]

Hi,

In my matrix need to visually compare the size of income (positive values) toexpenses (negative values).  Is it possible to conditionally format a column of values so that both positive and negative data bars run from left to right? and I use colour to differentiate as positive or negative).

Thanks as always,
Michelle

Hi @michellepace ,

You can set the bar direction of Revenue as 'Left to Right' and Expenses as 'Right to left' in the matrix, adjust the colors as your needed.

@michellepace , In case you are not using legend or multiple columns you can do that in the bar using rules or Using a measure with "field" option.

For both case refer: https://radacad.com/dax-and-conditional-formatting-better-together-find-the-biggest-and-smallest-num...
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-conditional-table-formatting#color-by-color-values

Color measure

color =
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum(Table[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum(Table[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
/// Add more conditions
"red"
)

for matrix it will work with rows/column etc.
