Null condition in color expression

Hi, I have two measures, Test and Compare. I want to change the color of my chart based on whether Test>Compare or not. However there are some null values in Test.

My expression if(sum(Test)>sum(Compare),red(),green()) does not work because of the null values in Test. Is there a way to add the null condition into my if statement?

Thanks.

You may be able to something like this?

If(Len(Trim(Sum(Test))) = 0, Blue(), If(Sum(Test) > Sum(Compare), Red(), Green())

Best,

‌nulls should be treated as zero by sum(). What happens if you put sum(Test) in a text object?

Use the Visual Cues option in the Chart.

Hi Manish, it is just one chart. Sum(Test) and Sum(Compare) are measures of the chart and Name is the dimension. It is a scatterplot. I want to change the color that when Sum(Test)>Sum(Compare), show me red, and otherwise green. There are null values in Test that is messing up the condition. Thanks.
