Hi,
I want to create capability profile matrix on which I could compare employee skills with requirements for some job position.
I manually created table with three columns (skill id, discipline id, and rating) which is equivalent to below table.
There are two disciplines, under each there are several skills.
Employee to meet this position requirements (above table) should be rated in the same way (1 for L, 1 for TB, 2 for M, etc.)
I want to compare profile table with employee ratings and conditionally change the color of boxes which are meeting position requirement.
I want to create matrix which will be looking like this
Red skills are this for which employye rating is the same.
I am wondering how to compare table with profile and this with employee rated skills,
Kind regards
Hi @Anonymous,
I think it is possible through customize and measure formula, but it requires some tricks on calculation measure formula coding and conditioner color formula measure fields.
Can you please share some dummy data with a similar data structure to test and coding formula?

Hi @Anonymous ,
thank you for your message.
These are my tables:
Assessment
ID | EMP_ID | SKILL_ID | RATE |
1 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
2 | 1 | 3 | 2 |
Employee:
ID | EMP_NAME | EMP_ROLE |
1 | Kamil Kowalski | Junior Specialist |
2 | Anna Nowak | Junior Specialist |
Skills:
ID | SKILL_NAME | SKILL_CATEGORY |
1 | Python | Programming |
2 | SQL | Programming |
And manualy created table with profiles:
ID | POSITION | SKILL_ID | RATE |
1 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
2 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
Tables are connected in snowflake schema with assessment table in center.
Kind regards
HI @Anonymous,
I'd like to suggest you create a calculated table to extract and merge all skill category and employee roles, then you can and add a new column to configure the main category of these values.
After these steps, you can use employee id on two, new table main categories and detail value(employee role, skill type) as column write a measure to use current value(employee id and skill category) to lookup and summarize correspond rate value.
