In a text table, how do I color one measure value without coloring all of them?

Trevor Jones Dec 14, 2012 7:46 AM

I have a simple text table, attached with multiple measure values. In this case one is revenue and the other is revenue growth/decline. I want the revenue growth/decline to be green or red in color, I want the revenues themselves to remain black. I can't see how to create multiple marks types so that I can do this.

Thanks,
Trevor

See http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/conditionalformattingv4/Introduction for a variety of techniques, it's definitely an area where Tableau is not as easy to work with as Excel.

You can create a calculated field w/ a condition if growth/decline >0 then "growth" else "decline" end. Then drop the calculated field in the color shelf.
