Highlighting background comparing to total
I have a matrix built by Year-Month, Location Name, and a % value from dividing 2 measures.
I want to highlight cells per column if the cell is greater than it's total
The datatable looks like the following example but with multiple years and Locations:
| Year | Month | Location | Value1 | Value2 |
| 2023 | January | LocA | 40193714.33 | 643966.62 |
| 2023 | February | LocA | 31852406.97 | 912116.34 |
| 2023 | March | LocA | 35091429.05 | 767218.08 |
Then I create a measure for Value2 / Value1
| Year-Month | LocationA |
| 2023 | 2.17% |
| January | 1.60% |
| February | 2.86% |
| March | 2.19% |
| Total | 2.17% |
I now need to compare each row with it's column total:
IF each cell is greater than the column Total, then highlight cell red

Hi deannapi ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) My test data is the same as yours.
(2) We can create measures.
total = CALCULATE([Measure],ALL('Table'))color = IF([Measure]>[total],"red")(3) Setting the Conditional Format and then the result is as follows.
