what Conditional formatting logic to be applied to only highlight highest valued cell and lowest valued cell in a given line item?

    Will need to know more information about the module and the list(s) involved to help further. Do the lists have a Top Level defined?

  • Hi @rob_marshall , thanks for getting back. So the list involved wont be having a top level defined

  • @salil16

    If that is the case, then you will need an additional module to get the overall MAX and MIN (would be much easier if you had a top level member).

  • @salil16

    Can you tell me more about the module, lists involved, Time, Versions?

  • And will you have negative numbers or zero values? Those add an extra level of complication because of the limitations of ‌conditional formatting and lack of dynamic values…

  • Hi @MarkWarren ..no..it will have non negative integers only

  • @salil16

    Can you please let us know the other dimensions/lists in the module and what they look like (top level members on any of them)?

  • well, if there are no negative numbers, here's a way to do it using a 'dummy' item to aggregate on. Create a list with only 1 item, this is the dummy. Being only 1 item means we do not increase the cell count when we dimension by it.
    Here's the line item set up:

    We're intentionally ignoring blanks, we want the non-zero minimum number and it helps with the conditional formatting:

    This produces:


    This mostly works - if you have numbers lower than 1, like 0.5, you'll need to set the conditional formatting minimum to that; or just use something like -0.000001.
    I'm sure this could be improved upon and hopefully someone better than me will show that! 😆
