Hi guys, I have 4 measures to evaluate my customers, each classed as A - D. Is it possible to display this in any of the visuals currently present in power bi desktop?

      I just used measures with IF statements to get a final ranking (A,B,C OR D) 

       

      For example, margin rank is made out of 2 factors margin $ and overall margin % .

       

      Margin Final = IF('Customer Info'[Column]<=1,"A",IF('Customer Info'[Column]<=2,"B",IF('Customer Info'[Column]<=3,"C","D")))
       
      I essentially copy this formual for each factor I want to measure to come up with the final ranking.  I classify A =1,B+2,C=3 and D =4 so I dont run into any errors comparing text with integers etc

        Hi cdawidow ,

        What's your expected result? Do you want to get a proper visual to display the data just as the one in your screen shot? If yes, you can create a matrix and make conditional formatting for classified fields(A-D) with background color. You can refer the following documentation to do it.

        Best Regards

    The most important parts are:
    1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
    2. Expected output from sample data
