Conditional formatting is not working in Pivot table in Looker studio. I have noticed it today, as several pivots, that used to be “colorful”, are not so anymore. Is anyone else facing the same problem? Were there any new releases that changed it or smth?
i have the exact problem. 3 days ago conditional formatting suddenly stopped working all across my pivots and standard tables. and no matter what i’ve tried, i couldn’t get them back working.
Are you still seeing this issue? If so, is it just on previously created pivot tables or new pivot tables? Any specific conditional formatting scenarios where you are seeing this? Thank you!
I’m was seeing it in both previous and new pivot tables, but I just test it, and it works fine for new pivot tables now.
Previous Pivot tables are still not applying the styles, but removing and re-adding fields, or just re-selecting the field in previous pivot tables fix it!
Seems existing tables are not fixed automatically. But depending on the table, there can be relatively easy ways to get it fixed. For example, I have conditional colouring based on a metric (average value of a field). The colouring starts working for me when I:
Add the same metric (the colouring is based on) to the table the second time. E.g. a duplicate - the exact same metric twice. This is a good way to go, as it retains all naming and metric settings. For the freshly added metric, the colouring starts working.
Remove the original metric, which still doesn’t work. After this, I have a fully working colouring again.
Now, I have about 50 reports for different clients, so I have do this 50 times. Which is annoying. But at least it seems to fix it without any bigger work
Hi everyone! To resolve this issue, simply go to the edit conditional formatting rule and select the “Apply when collapsed” checkbox. I hope this helps!
