Canvas progress wheel conditional color based on negative values?

Hi,

I am building a dashboard for solar energy monitoring. One of the metrics is showing if you are consuming energy from grid (positive values) or feeding energy into grid (negative values). I want to change the color of progress wheel based on this but it doesn't work with negative numbers.

Basically what I want to do is

filters
| essql query="SELECT last(GridPowerConsumption) as gpc FROM solar"
| math "gpc/30000"
| progress shape="wheel" label={formatnumber "0%"} valueColor={if {gte 0.0} then="red" else="green"}
......

Any chance to make it work?

I guess it would be nice to have wheel progressing in the opposite direction if the value is negative.

In the expense of doubling the queries, I can get it to work but I dont think this is the best way:

filters
| essql query="SELECT last(GridPowerConsumption) as gpc FROM solar"
| math "abs(gpc/30000)"
| progress shape="wheel" label={formatnumber "0%"} valueColor={filters
| essql query="SELECT last(GridPowerConsumption) as gps FROM solar"
| math "gps" if {gte 0.0} then="red" else="green"}
......

ES uses a cache for queries, so there won't be that much of perfomance hit on the cluster, and as long as that solution does what you want, it should be fine.
