Conditional Format Date Range

I browsed the community and still am having trouble formatting values based on a given date range. For values that are less than the current month, I want to format them either red or green, while values greater than or equal to the current month colored grey. My current background color expression is as follows, any suggestions?

=
IF(
(
Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, [FiscalMonth]={">=$(=Max(FiscalMonth)<=$(=Max(FiscalMonth)"}> [Sales Data.Actual])
-
Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, [FiscalMonth]={">=$(=Max(FiscalMonth)<=$(=Max(FiscalMonth)"}>} [Sales Data.Plan])) < 0,
rgb(219,60,36),
IF(
(
Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, [FiscalMonth]={">=$(=Max(FiscalMonth)<=$(=Max(FiscalMonth)"}> [Sales Data.Actual])
-
Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, [FiscalMonth]={">=$(=Max(FiscalMonth)<=$(=Max(FiscalMonth)"}>} [Sales Data.Plan])) >= 0,
Green(),
rgb(128, 128, 128)))

Sorry forgot to do one thing:

=IF(
(
Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, DN={">=$(=Num(MonthStart(Date(Max(DN))))) <=$(=Num(MonthEnd(Date(Max(DN)))))"}> [Sales Data.Actual])
-
Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, DN={">=$(=Num(MonthStart(Date(Max(DN))))) <=$(=Num(MonthEnd(Date(Max(DN)))))"}>} [Sales Data.Plan])) < 0,
rgb(219,60,36),
IF(
(
Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, DN={">=$(=Num(MonthStart(Date(Max(DN))))) <=$(=Num(MonthEnd(Date(Max(DN)))))"}>} [Sales Data.Actual])
-
Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, DN={">=$(=Num(MonthStart(Date(Max(DN))))) <=$(=Num(MonthEnd(Date(Max(DN)))))"}>} [Sales Data.Plan])) >= 0,
Green(),
rgb(128, 128, 128)))

Hi Michael,

is it possible to post the sample qvw file? it would give the better understanding about your data.

Please see attachments, again, my end result is the following. I want to show YTD, Full Accumulation, with months < Today() formatted GREEN() if ACTUALS beat PLAN, is ACTUAL are under PLAN, RED(). IF Months are >= Today(), format them RGB(128, 128, 128).

Hi,

if the YTD/ACTUALS is Full Accumulation, the value doesn't < YTD Plan value, right? (May be i understood wrongly)

See here..

Just i tried to remove the Full Accumulation for YTD ACTUALS . It looks like this

if it is full accumulation, then YTD ACTUALS/FORECAST > YTD PLAN, right?

maybe somebody will help...

Yes, that bottom graph looks correct, however, the third bar (the one for 3/31/2015 should be GREEN(), with the remainder before 7/31/2015 colored RED()

Hi Michael,

May be like this. 123456.JPG

I'm in the learning level. May be some expert will give the good idea.

Hi Michhael,

I think you need an expression like the following. I am assuming that you have a fiscal date field in your data model..

You basically need to disregard all the other date releated selections like FiscalMonth,FiscalYear and just filter your data on your main date field(between Jan this year and year(Max(Your Date Field)) or Year(Today()).. Hope this helps

IF(

(Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'},FiscalMonth =, FiscalYear =, FiscalDate ={">=$(=YearStart(FiscalDate)<=$(=Year(Max(FiscalDate))"}> [Sales Data.Actual])

-

Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, FiscalMonth =, FiscalYear =, FiscalDate ={">=$(=YearStart(FiscalDate)<=$(=Year(Max(FiscalDate))">} [Sales Data.Plan])) < 0,

rgb(219,60,36),

IF(

(Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, FiscalMonth =, FiscalYear =, FiscalDate ={"<=$(=Max(FiscalDate)"}> [Sales Data.Actual])

-

Sum({$<[Sales Data.Metric]={'Direct Revenue'}, FiscalMonth =, FiscalYear =, FiscalDate ={"<=$(=Max(FiscalDate)"}>} [Sales Data.Plan])) >= 0,

Green(),

rgb(128, 128, 128)))
