Conditional Formatting for Measures in Rows

Hi Community,

 

With your help I've managed to places my Measure in rows - but there's one more thing I hope can be done as well - how to do conditional formatting on it, These are different measures with different targets

Since Measures on Rows is not officially supported I suspect you've built a SINGLE SWITCH Measure you've placed on the Rows

something similar to this method by @MattAllington http://exceleratorbi.com.au/measures-on-rows-here-is-how-i-did-it/

so you can apply conditional formatting but it will be the same for all Measures included in the SINGLE switch Measure

and the way I read your question is this is not what you want - you'd like different for each Measure in the single SWITCH Measure

Unreleated to this but you can format differently each Measure using the FORMAT function

Measures on Rows is a highly requested feature and I think its only a matter of time until the bring it in PBI.

It's marked as planned Smiley Happy

Then you'll be able to apply Conditional Formatting to each Measure separately.

@Seth_C_Bauer,

 

Yes I am aware of that feature but that only applies to the normal situations like the out-of-the-box behaviour (measures are in columns section) mine is in rows.

 

@Sean,

 

That is exactly what I am doing - the SINGLE SWITCH approach.

 

I also voted for that OOTB feature in ideas while I was researching for a solution and I am just hoping that there is also a work aorund for the conditional formatting for multiple measures with varying targets - but sounds like there is none as per your comment.

 

I hope that feature will be added soon, my subscribers would really prefer to have that it's something that they are used to in the Excel reporting.

@ovetteabejuela In the values section where you drop your measure, there is a down arrow to the right of the measure name. Click that, and you will see a drop down that includes "Conditional Formatting"
