    Power BI - True/False Values not Conditional Formatting Correctly

    Hi,

    I cant work out why but True/False values are not formatting correctly, they're all being formatted as True values even if they're False values.

    Attached is a screenshot of the work.

    As you can see i have 3 rules, if the value is 1 or greater (true) then display a green tick, if its blank or equals 0 (false) then display a red cross. But for what ever reason its putting them all as True even if the value is False. I've also tried changing the rule so its just if value = 1 (instead of 1 or greater).

    What am i doing wrong here?

    Thank you.

    The rules are to do with numbers, not whether the column shows true or false, so based on the images alone, I'd say the rules are not fit for purpose.

    Re: Power BI - True/False Values not Conditional Formatting Correctly

    Hi Ali,

    I thought numbers may work with True = 1 and False = 0 but i guess that cant be done in Power BI. I can turn the values (True/False) into numbers (1/0) but then the Filter options would change to 1/0 and when exporting the data it would output the number where as i want the values to be True/False.

    I'm a little stuck on how to do what im after

    Thanks

    EDIT: The only thing i can think of is to do a IF statement by saying IF value = TRUE then unichar green tick, else unichar red cross. Is there a better way?
