CONDITION FORMATTING, ON BOTH AXIS

Hi Piotr,

Thank you for your question to the forum.

To my knowledge there is no conditional formatting feature that applies different colours to the x axis. However, you can highlight the data labels in 2 different colours depending on whether X>Y or Y>X. This is a preview feature that has become permanent as of this month's Power BI updates.

What you need to do is:

1. Create a new column in DAX and write XY difference = [X] > [Y]

2. Select the column chart and go to Data Labels > Values. Click on the fx symbol

3. In the dialog box, select 'Rules' then in 'What field to base on' select the XY difference formula

4. In the 1st rule set it to be >=0 and <100 or any number that is higher than the maximum out of your values. Select a green colour

5. Create a 2nd rule and set it to be >-100 or any number that is lower than the minimum out of your values. Select a red colour and click OK to apply this effect

If you still want to apply conditional formatting to the x axis then what I suggest is that you submit this as an idea under the Help tab in Power BI desktop

I hope this has helped

Kind Regards
