Dear Power BI community
What I would like to achieve is
I want to create a matrix table where the headings of rows (which will be in a hierachy) are conditionally formatted based on the outcome of a measure. If the lowest row in the hierachy does not meet the condition of the measure, when the matrix table is NOT expanded, then the highest level in the table shows the same colour too
What is the data like
There are 3 columns which are in a hierachy Hospital >> Care Group >> Ward
I.e.
Hospital Care Goup Ward
SGH A 1
SGH A 2
SGH B 3
Measures
I have 2 measures called "Actual discharges" and "Expected Discharges" and when put together with the columns, it looks like this
Hospital Care Goup Ward Actual discharges Expected discharges
SGH A 1 3 2
SGH A 2 4 5
SGH A 3 3 2
SGH B 4 7 6
What to base the conditional format on
I wwas thinking of creating another measure where
Not currently possible. If this is important to you please consider voting for an existing idea or raising a new one at https://ideas.powerbi.com
