Variance color coding on the dashboard

[usha.cherukuri]

Hi,

We have the dashboard consists of 3 columns

A,B and variance

Now I want to highlight the third column with same color irrespective + and - ve values (tried with conditional formatting, same color option is not available to highlight +ve and -ve values in same color- Red color).

Please suggest.

Thanks

Usha

HI @usha.cherukuri,

You can rather create a new line item (number formatted) and make the applies to none (To reduce size), then put 1 in the formula bar. Now use this line item to conditional format the 'Variance' line item.

I hope this helps!

Kavin.

Hi Usha,

In addition to the earlier responses, if you only want to color when the variance is above a certain treshold, then you could use the ABS (absolute) function on your variance value instead of just inputting 1, e.g:

IF ABS(Variance) > 10 THEN 1 ELSE 0

or if you want the color scales, you could ofcourse simply use:
ABS(Variance)
