Colour coding cells based on value

[Taz2604]

Hi Guys,

I have multiple columns which need to be colour coded based on the text present in them. For example, if the letter "G" is present in cells, I need the cell to be "Green"; "A" is "Amber" and so on.

I have 6 letters corresponding to colours like these spread over 9 columns. How do I do this? I need to visualise this in a "Table" 

Please help. I have attached a screenshot of it.

Thanks a ton all!

I ended up using the Switch formula with multiple columns and assigning a numerical value to each colour I wanted to use.

Hi, @Taz2604 

You can try the following method to write a measure about the color for each column. This is shown below.

Measure1 = Switch(True(),
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[BCP])="G","Green",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[BCP])="A","Amber",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[BCP])="N","Red",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[BCP])="W","White")

Measure2 = Switch(True(),
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[DR])="G","Green",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[DR])="A","Yellow",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[DR])="N","Red",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[DR])="W","White")

Measure3 = Switch(True(),
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[IWsuraWce])="G","Green",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[IWsuraWce])="A","Yellow",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[IWsuraWce])="N","Red",
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[IWsuraWce])="W","White")

Then add conditional formatting to each column.

 

Does this resemble the output you expect?

@Taz2604 , You can not do conditional formatting for the column header. But you do for data cells

You can create  a color measure and use that in conditional formatting using the field value option

example

Measure =
Switch(true(),
max(Table[Column]) = "R1" , "Red" ,
max(Table[Column]) = "R2" , "Green" ,
max(Table[Column]) = "R3" , "Pink "
)

How to do conditional formatting by measure and apply it on pie?
