Skip blank values based on the color condition

 
 My color condition does not excludes the blank values and keep the condition , I have tried this: 
colorMEP= BLANK() && colorProgress = "#E66C37", "000000", but is not working

Format cond Nom du projet =
VAR MEP_Planifie = MAX(REF_PROJET[MEP Date])
VAR colorMEP = IF(MEP_Planifie < [Date_jourM-1], "#E66C37", "#000000")
VAR colorProgress = IF([% Avancement projet] > 0.9, "#E66C37", "#000000")
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
colorMEP = "#E66C37" && colorProgress = "#E66C37", "#0000FF", // Both conditions are red, set to blue
colorMEP= BLANK() && colorProgress = "#E66C37", "000000",
colorProgress = "#000000", "#000000", // Progress condition is black
"#000000" // Default color
)

two varibles descriptive:
Format cond %avancement ( last column)= IF(
    [% Avancement projet] > 0.9, "#e66c37","#000000")
 
Format cond MEP-Jour font ( first column) =

var MEP_Planifie = Max(REF_PROJET[MEP Date])
var colorchange =
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
     MEP_Planifie < [Date_jourM-1], "#E66C37","#000000"
   
)
RETURN
colorchange
 
Thank you in advance

hi @fbittencourt ,

 

Glad the last version helped a bit! I think the key with Power BI formatting and blanks is to be really explicit with how you handle them, since visuals will ignore BLANK() and just show default formatting.

 

Try this version for your measure, it's a bit cleaner and should skip formatting whenever there’s missing data, plus it keeps your color logic clear:

 

VAR MEP_Planifie = MAX(REF_PROJET[MEP Date])
VAR colorMEP =
    IF(
        ISBLANK(MEP_Planifie),
        BLANK(),
        IF(MEP_Planifie < [Date_jourM-1], "#E66C37", "#000000")
    )
VAR colorProgress =
    IF(
        ISBLANK([% Avancement projet]),
        BLANK(),
        IF([% Avancement projet] > 0.9, "#E66C37", "#000000")
    )

RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    // Skip formatting if either color is blank
    ISBLANK(colorMEP) || ISBLANK(colorProgress), BLANK(),
    // Both conditions orange = blue
    colorMEP = "#E66C37" && colorProgress = "#E66C37", "#0000FF",
    // Otherwise use main color
    NOT(ISBLANK(colorMEP)), colorMEP,
    NOT(ISBLANK(colorProgress)), colorProgress,
    "#000000"
)

 

By checking ISBLANK up front, Power BI will just leave the cell with default formatting if there’s no data, which is usually what you want. Multiple Conditions: If both conditions are met, you’ll get blue; otherwise, your normal rules apply. Still Not Working? Sometimes “blank” in Power BI is actually an empty string or a hidden value, so double-check your source fields if it’s still acting weird (using LEN or TRIM can help diagnose).

Thanks for you quick answer, I have applied your code it looks good concerning the blank values, but I do not know for what reason the issue remains.
Maybe if we change the mesure it works
