Using Thresholds in Tables

Add thresholds to tables and choose how to display the threshold values.

You can add thresholds to measures in tables, including calculated and restricted measures. You can also add thresholds to calculated rows and columns.

Note
Thresholds for calculated rows or columns use number ranges only; they cannot be compared to measure values.

To make it easier to find the threshold values, you can change the font color or the cell background.

With your table selected, open Builder, choose a measure, select Start of the navigation path (More) Next navigation step  ThresholdsEnd of the navigation path, and then choose one of the following options.

Tip

You can also create or change thresholds from your table. Select a measure in the table, right-click and select Thresholds, and then select either New Threshold or Edit Ranges.

  3. In the Threshold Style list, choose the style:
    • Symbol (default) – use the story-defined symbols and colors for the threshold ranges.
    • Color Values – the threshold colors are applied to the cell data.
