I am trying to make a scorecard for budget…etc… Let's say our budget in Jan was $14,418,053 and are actuals were below that. How could I turn that budget red? and vice versa if actuals were above budget it would be green? Is this possible in DOMO yet or are there work arounds.

Thanks,

Garrett

    If you are using a mega table, you can create beast modes that color the numbers like this:

    CASE WHEN budget > actual then concat('<div style="color: #ff0000">',`budget`,'</div>')

else

concat('<div style="color: #00ff00">',`budget`,'</div>')

end

    This would turn the budget red if it is higher, otherwise it will be green.

    Thank you for this. This looks like this will be able to help. In the beastmode what do I need to change? It seems to be brining the budget over but not the color.

    CASE WHEN SUM(Budget) > SUM(Amount) then concat('',SUM(Budget),'')

    else

    concat('',SUM(Budget),'')

    end

    Try switching to the HTML table chart type and see if that works.

    Great that worked! One last thing is it will not format to currency I am assuming because it comes in as a text. Is there work around this or is this as detailed as DOMO's beastmodes can get

    You can construct the format through some elaborate beast mode syntax, but it will still be viewed as text. If you search the community for beast mode formatting, you should see some examples. You could add a round function to eliminate pennies very easily, but the commas and $ signs require an elaborate beast mode.

    Thanks @GrantSmith !

    This beastmode helped with removing decimals and still kept the color conditions active. What is the correct way to format this beastmode to be able to have commas in the value?

    Thanks

    You can replace the FLOOR(SUM(`random_number`)) on line 11 in the example with the beast mode that will format the value with commas. You can refer to the Number Formatting link I sent earlier.

    Hello,
    Can I use the HTML syntax to put colors in a pivot table with beastmode?
    I'm trying to do a formula like:

    CASE
    WHEN AVG(SLA Calculation) >= 0.9 THEN concat('<div style="color: #ff0000">',AVG(SLA Calculation),'</div>')
    ELSE concat('<div style="color: #00ff00">',AVG(SLA Calculation),'</div>')
    END
