Format % Increase with ">100%"

[LucaA]

Hi guys,

i would like to format the measure YOY Growth % with the option to show ">100%" for all the increases >100%. However the output has still to be a number as i am using a conditional formatting on that measure and i want to see, also for the cell ">100%", the "top arrow" symbol.

I tried using FORMAT function but i was not able to achieve the result

thanks

Luca

Hi @LucaA ,

If i understand you correctly, you could just create another measure using a number value to replace the '>100%'.

Something like below.

measure2 = IF([Sales PY]=BLANK(),BLANK(),IF([Sales]/[Sales PY]-1> 1, 99,[Sales]/[Sales PY]-1))

Then use this measure as the conditional formatting rule.

Best Regards,

Jay

ty @v-jayw-msft 

so the solution is to create always 2 measures: one formatted as requested (e.g. >100%) and the other one with the right values (i think is not necessary to put 99 i can just keep the right result which is already >1) and then formatting the first based on the second.

ty again 

best

i want to use the up arrow also next to >100%

actually i am using this formula for >100% but obv this is leading to a text format which is not read by the cond.formatting rule

YoY % = IF([Sales PY]=BLANK(),BLANK(),IF([Sales]/[Sales PY]-1> 1, ">100%",[Sales]/[Sales PY]-1))

thanks

@LucaA , 

I'm a bit unclear here. 

Do you want to show Upper Arrow for the value more than 100%?

@LucaA , if you want to display >100 % then it will become text. For Arrow, you use icon formatting or unichare with conditional formatting measure
