%of hours used vs % to target

[Brian874]

Hi,

I am using the below for my analysis but want to create a red and green, situation where if the #leads to the total expected leads % is higher than the total hours used % then the column will show red. If the #leads to the total expected leads % is lower than the total hours used % then the column will show green

Hi @Brian874 ,

You can try below two solution:

YOY char =
IF (
    ISBLANK ( [YOY] ) = FALSE (),
    IF ( [YOY] > 0, UNICHAR ( 9650 ), UNICHAR ( 9660 ) ),
    BLANK ()
)

or

YOY color =
SWITCH ( TRUE (), [YOY] > 0, "#0ec600", [YOY] < 0, "#c60000" )

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry

Hi @v-henryk-mstf  this, unfortunately, did not work as it came up as an error.....do I need to create a new column and then a measure?

@Brian874 , you need only color in font then you can create color based on the measure. But in this, you have to create a unichar measure and color . And use color measure in conditional formatting using field value option. Unichar measure as new value in visual 

example

/////Arrow
Arrow =
var _change =[Net Sales YTD]-[Net Sales LYTD]
return
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
_change > 0, UNICHAR(9650),
_change = 0, UNICHAR(9654),
_change < 0, UNICHAR(9660)
)

/////Arrow Color
Arrow color =
var _change =[Net Sales YTD]-[Net Sales LYTD]
return
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
_change > 0, "green",
_change = 0, "blue",
_change < 0, "red"
)
