Cards with states...States for positive or negative number

[unclejemima]

I'm using the custom visual "Cards with states" and having a difficult time setting the states.

The card looks correct (example below) 

What I'm trying to do is simple.  If the target value is a negative -5 to 0% difference, then show yellow.  If its more than -5%, then show red.  If its, positive 0-5%, then show yellow, if its more than 5% positive, then show green.

This is default for a normal KPI card, but it seems I can only select one direction for the states...either less than for all states, or greater than for all states.  I can't select one state less than, one state greater than.

Help please!

Hi @unclejemima,

Based on my test, you can refer to below steps:

1.I have entered some sample data like the picture below:

2.Create different calculated columns for different State.

StateA=0.5

StateB=0

StateD=-1

StateC=0.5

3.Create a Cards with states visual and set the different color for different states.

Now you can see the correct result.

You can also download the PBIX file to have a view.

v-danhe-msft, are you able to enter these values manually and have it work?

Hi @unclejemima,

Based on my test, I entered the value manually and could not get the correct result, I suggest you to create different calculated columns of each value or create different measures of each value, both of them could get waht you want.

Based on my test, I entered the value manually and could not get the correct result,

Its kind of odd that it does not accept the manual values?  But yes I will try as you suggest. Thank you!

Hi guys,

I've made this visual work properly for my need. I created a new measure to calculate the difference between two dates and would like to evaluate this value:

_dateDiff = AVERAGEX(dLancamentos, IF(DATEDIFF(dLancamentos[DATA LANCAMENTO], dLancamentos[CREATED ON], DAY) < 0, 0, DATEDIFF(dLancamentos[DATA LANCAMENTO], dLancamentos[CREATED ON], DAY)))

In the CardWithValues, I inserted this new measure in the following fields:

• Measure
• States Measure

In Format >> States, I did this configuration:

Affect

Both Labels

Messages

On

Comparison

<=

State A value

3

State B value

5

State C value

7

State D value

80

I've noticed if you don't set a value in your previous comparison, the visual assumes the A state, wich is totally wrong - it should apply the higher one.

I hope this help you guys. If you have any questions, please, let me know and I'll be glad to help.

Kindest regards.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong...but if I try and manually input values, it does not seem to work.  See attached...

Can you try for your example to manually put in values?  Also your example does not show "Value Type".  Mine is selected as Pecentage over targe what I'm trying to relate to.

So in the example, anything less than -5.1% should be red.  Its showing yellow.

Thank you kindly 🙂

Anyone?   Is it not possible to key in the values manually and have this work?

If someone could make suggestions based on my screenshots would be fantastic!
