conditional formatting

Hi

 

I have the below table, the number of students is a count of the students ID and the % of total is the students ID but as a percentage of the row total. I want to format the background colour but just for the % of total column which are RED. I want to coulor the background Red if it is over 10%, Amber if it is 3-9% and Green if under 3%. Is there a way to do this?, thanks for any help

 

 

  • Hi, WJ876400 

    According to your description and sample picture, you want to set the conditional format for the [% of Total] for the color Red, right?

    You can try my steps:

    This is the test data I created according to your sample picture:

    1. Create these measures:
    Number of students =
    
    COUNTX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[ID]=MAX('Table'[ID])),[ID])
    % of Total =
    
    var _total=COUNTX(ALL('Table'),[ID])
    
    return
    
    DIVIDE([Number of students],_total )
    Color format =
    
    SWITCH(
    
        TRUE(),
    
        [% of Total]>0.1,"Red",
    
        [% of Total]<=0.1&&[% of Total]>=0.03,"Orange",
    
        [% of Total]<0.03,"Green"
    
    )
    1. I created a Matrix and place these columns and measures, then open the conditional format like this:

     

    And you can get what you want, like this:

    If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.
