Conditional formatting help - Duplicate rows for ID

Hi All, 

 

I was wondering if someone could help me. I am having trouble with conditional formatting in Power BI and I need some assistance. My aim is so insert another column inside of the table to the right of the 'Time' column called [Example column] and this will show for example from the data below . 

 

if Time = 60 Then show 1 

if Time = 30 then show 0.5

if Time = 0 Then show 0

 

This is what my data looks like before I used the conditional formatting option in power query

When I try to do this in conditional formatting, it is finding all of the times associated to the ID number instead of the total value of 60.

Is there a way I can limit this so it will only do the calculation on the whole number that the ID ticket totals to or is this not possible. 

 

thanks

You need to return Time as a measure. Currently thats just the rows from a table. Youll need two measures:

 

Hours=SUM(Table1[Time])

 

Then the conditional measure

 

Example=SWITCH(TRUE(),[Time]=60,1,[Time]=30,0.5,0)

Hi @samdthompson , thank you for the logic. 

I have an issue with this though I am unable to use the EXAMPLE measure on more then 2 occasions before it freaks out. 

The larget number in the HOURS2 column is 2370 but using what you provided to me I am unable to make it work with more values. 

 

I would like to show 0 for all values that are 15 mins or less. 

I would like to show 0.5 for all values that are >=16 but less than <=45 

I would like to show 1 for all values that are >=46 but less than <=75

 

Example1 = SWITCH(TRUE(),[Hours2] <= 45,0.5 ,[Hours2] >= 16,0.5,[Hours2] <= 15,0)

 

The result I get is this -

but when I use only 2 values I get this - Which is working

Can you show me how I would write more then 2 values please

 

thanks
