Change background color in a Dashboard for a column with text

AlanFoley — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 13:57:50 GMT

I am using a Table visual in a Dashboard where I can succesfully change the background colour for columns that are numerical by configuring thresholds

Is it possible to drive colour changes based on "text" values? see screenshot example - it would be for my "Status" columns in attached imaged

I cannot see a way of doing this? is it possible? any workarounds?

Apprecaite your time

Thanks

Alan

@AlanFoley You should be able to do that via thresholds, see below example

Thanks Phani - not sure how I missed that 🙂 - works great thanks

One limitation however is that there is one global setting for either highlighting the "Value" or the "Background" for all columns in the table - its basically a global "either" "or" setting - it would be great is there was an option for each threshold column to be able to define either "Value" or "Background" highlighting - this would allow more flexibility

Appreciate the help
