Need Help with Conditional Formatting

[Anonymous]

I have done basic conditional formatting before, but for some reason cannot get this one to work. I have this table (below).

The background color for cells in the Actual/Projected Obs column should be as follows:

Green if greater than 98% or less than or equal  100% of OSD GOAL

Yellow if greater than or equal 92% or less or equal 98% of OSD GOAL

Red if greater than or equal to 0% or less than 92% of OSD GOAL

So, the correct background colors should be:

Red

Red

Green

Yellow

Green

Green

Green

Green

Green

Green

Green

Green

 and I get something completely different. Maybe because it is using SUM? But I don't see any other option. Please help!

I guess it is worth noting that I am on Version: 2.72.5556.701 32-bit (August 2019) of Power BI.

I have a table into a report with applied conditional formatting
There is few field with project dosuments count and we want to apply conditional formatting based on numbers count like if documents is > 0 then icon Green and if documents count is <= 0 then Red icon but additionally we want to add one more condition that where "Specific" project documents count is 0 or more than 0 but in any case "specific" project icon should be Green.

@Anonymous , Create a color measure and use that in conditional formatting with field value option

Switch(true(),
[OSD GOAL] >=.98 , "green", // use 98 if this not a % column
[OSD GOAL] >=.92 , "yellow",// use 92 if this not a % column
[OSD GOAL] >=0 , "red"
)

@amitchandak  In your example you are just using [OSD GOAL], my measure would not allow me to use it like that. However, it allowed to use MAX. Could that be the problem?

Hi @Anonymous 

In your data, all values from the [OSD GOAL] column are greater than .98 (the smallest one in image is 48039), so all the fields are green. This is a correct behavior. You need to put a measure whose result is percentage values between 0 and 1 to make this color measure work as you expected.

@amitchandak , thank you very much for your reply! I watched the video and created the measure. However, now all the fileds are green. What am I doing wrong?
