Formatting Background Color Conditional - Blank, Null, Empty, Zero?

Hello, I am try to conditionally format the background of my visuals based off of a measure then a scoring level of 0 (red), 5 (yellow) or 10 (green). I am having troubles conditionally formatting the background of my visuals that do not have data. In the Background>Color settings it has Default formatting options but only for blanks. When I view my visual as a table it is emplty so I believe that my data is not returning a blank and it is seen as a zero. 

 

Any advice on this? I can give more info if needed. Thanks!

@mboomgaa , with Range I doubt, but with Measure color and use that in conditional formatting with field value option

 

Switch( true() ,

isblank([measure]) , "red" ,

[measure] =0 , "Yellow" ,

[measure] <10 , "Orange",

"green"

)

@mboomgaa , Create a measure

New measure = [measure] +0

And use this measure in coditional formatting 

 

I think in that case if should pickup 0 .

 

0 can be an acceptable and scorable value from the measure so I want it to actually format the empty value as a blank like it indicates it will in the settings.

Hi @mboomgaa ,

 

Could you pls some sample data,or if possible ,your .pbix file would be better for us to test?
