dynamic rule for changing color of a measure

[Giada_Togliatti]

Hi, 

I need to create a rule for example:

if sum(Sales)>value_1, red,

if value_2<sum(Sales)<value_1, green

if sum(Sales)<value_2, yellow

and I need to creare these value_1, value_2 dynamic ( I need to choose them)

how can I do?

Thank you

Giada

@Giada_Togliatti , Value_1, and Value_2 can be whatif measure

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-what-if

And you can create a color measure and use option and field and use the measure in conditional formatting

measure= Switch( true(),
sum(Sales)>selectedvalue(value_1[value_1]), "red",
sum(Sales)>selectedvalue(value_[value_2]) && sum(Sales)<selectedvalue(value_1[value_1]), "green",
sum(Sales)>selectedvalue(value_[value_2]), "yellow",
"blue")

Hi @Giada_Togliatti ,

You can create a measure using following DAX as follows: (Modify it based on the columns and measures you want to use)

ColorMeasure =

VAR myEventResult =

SELECTEDVALUE (Table[SALES])

RETURN

SWITCH (

TRUE (),

myEventResult > SUM(Table[SALES]), "#DC5B57",

myEventResult < SUM(Table[SALES]), "#A54441",  "#268361"

)

Replace Table[SALES] with your table and column and modify the Hex codes for the colors. Then you can use this measure in conditional formatting.

Let me know if this works.

If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂

Thanks,

Pragati

it works, thank you!

Read my blog for how to write the DAX. https://exceleratorbi.com.au/conditional-formatting-with-a-text-field-in-power-bi/

for the selection, you need a What If Parameter
