Conditional Formatting in Table

Hi

 

How can I change the Background Colour to Red if the Field = "Expired"

Also if the Days to Ins Expiry < 45 then i want the background to be yellow

See example below:

Hi @Sean-OReilly ,

 

Please try this:

 

Expired =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    [Days to Ins Expiry] = "Expired", "Red",
    [Days to Ins Expiry] < 45, "Yellow"
)

@Sean-OReilly , better to create a color measure. And use that in conditional formatting using "Field value" option

 

example:

color =
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum('Table'[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum('Table'[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
// Add more conditions
"red"
)

Hi Amitchandak, thanks for your reply

I see where you are coming from.

 

I cannot use the below formula though as the "days to ins expiry" field is a measure not a column

Can i do something similar using a measure?
