How do you format visuals dynamically based on conditional logic using DAX?

In a Power BI project, I need to dynamically format visuals based on specific conditions or thresholds, such as changing colors or styles depending on KPI values. I’m seeking guidance on how to use DAX expressions or conditional logic to achieve this and ensure the visual design aligns with business requirements.

To vary the arrangement of the visuals within the Power BI environment based on some conditions, the user can use the Conditional Formatting options for most elements, such as data labels, backgrounds, font colors, and more. This is usually the case when a DAX measure or a calculated DAX column is created that expresses the logic of the formatting parameters.

Approach to Dynamic Formatting:
Use DAX to Articulate the Conditional Logic:
First, construct the DAX measure, which will be used to evaluate the conditions for formatting. For example, if one of the KPI colors should depend on performance, the following measure may be used:

FormatColor = 

IF([KPI Value] > 80, "Green", 

IF([KPI Value] > 50, "Yellow", "Red"))

Guidelines:

To avoid any visual distraction in your report, stick to one color scheme throughout your report.

Use conditional formatting in conjunction with tooltip measures and explain while hovering over visuals.

Only use dynamic formatting sparingly and only in the most important areas so that the end user understands.  

Following these steps, you will create interesting and engaging Power BI dashboards, keeping in mind that important insights will be visible according to the limits you set.
