On / Off Traffic Light Report

I have a very simple table like below

 

Line-----Running

1--------Yes

2--------Yes

3--------No

4--------No

5--------No

6--------Yes

7--------Yes

8--------No

9--------Yes

10-------No

11-------No

12-------No

 

What I want is to display this with traffic lights ,is this possible with power BI?

 

Regards

 

Geoff

Sort of. Here is one idea. First, create a calculated column like so:

 

RunningBoolean = IF([Running]="Yes",1,0)

Next, create a measure like so:

 

Measure = FIRSTNONBLANK(VALUES(Table[RunningBoolean]),"")

No, put your Line and your Measure into a table. You should now be able to click on the measure in your fields area and choose Conditional Formatting.

 

Conditional Formatting in tables only works with numeric measures.
