Hi Guys,
I need to replicate a table from Excel into PBI. The problem is, I have columns that have different Data Types, Decimal and %, I also have rows that have different data types Decimal and %, I also have mixed columns with data types decimals and %. I also need to do condition formatting on column "Data type Percentage".
I've managed to do it, but the values are in text so I cant do the conditiional formatting (I think) or I can slice the data up and format multiple tables to look at one. But as it's a proof of concept project, I don't want to go down the mashup route.
Feel feel to restructure the data how you want, or even crosstable it, I've tried everything.
Good luck
and Thanks.
KPI | Mixed Data Type | Data Type Percentage | Data Type Decimal |
KPI1 | 1000 | 10% | 1425 |
KPI2 | 2000 | 15% | 12334 |
KPI3 | 10% | 20% | 4657 |
KPI4 | 4000 | 25% | 232 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI, @Anonymous
For conditional formatting on Values, You could drag Column1 in Values, and when do conditional formatting, you could based on anther field

hi, @Anonymous
If you want to show mixed Data Types, It only could be shown as Text format.
You could also FORMAT Function to custom format.

hI,
That's exactly what I did, I used Format "Percent" and Format Standard for Decimals. The table works well and shows be what I want.
I can't do the conditional formatting bit "Data Type Percentage" column.

hi, @Anonymous
You could use Format Function to add a mixed Data Types column, and then use basic column for conditional formatting.

In the Matrix table, I can only do conditional formatting on Values, but I need conditional formatting on columns, but it doesn't give me the option to.
Or am I missing something.
