I'd like to color code the percentages in the 2nd column based on their change from the corresponding row in the 1st column. (e.g., 0% in Q3+Q4 would be red because it's less than the value in the 1st column. Any values that went up would be green.) Demo TWBX attached.

 

Thanks!

 

Color code 2nd column to indicate change from 1st column?

    I have a simpler solution (well, at least with fewest calculated fields...)

    1) create a calculated field called Share of ED level; it must compute the same result than the % you're displaying, but with LOD instead of Table Calc.

    COUNT([Extract]) / ATTR({EXCLUDE [ED Level] : COUNT([Extract])})

    2) create a second calculated field called Delta Growth, which will be a nullable boolean : in Q1+Q2, the result is NULL ; in Q3+Q4, the result will be True if the share is bigger and False if it's smaller :

    IF ATTR([FY Qtr (group)]) = "Q1+Q2" THEN NULL

    ELSE [Share of ED level] >= LOOKUP([Share of ED level], -1)

    END

    3) set the Default Table Calc to FY Qtr (group), so the Lookup(..., -1) will get the value from the previous column.

    4) use this field on Color, so you can set NULL to black, True to green and False to Red.
