Hi AgoZ_KH ,

I have a little confused about your scenario.

Do you use the formula below and it does not work? 

ColorDL =
VAR AlertDL =
    AVERAGE ( datatest[DWLMbps] ) / 2
RETURN
    SWITCH ( TRUE (); AVERAGE ( datatest[DWLMbps] ) <= AlertDL; "#ff0000" )

If it is convenient, could you share your data sample and your desired output so that we could help further on it?

Best Regards,

Cherry

Hi v-piga-msft  !

thanks for your reply!

I try to explain better my issue.

 

Suppose you have a table like this:

CataniaSielte S.p.A.35,735971988,044349001

CampobassoDimensione Srl65,662152037,910134884

 

Suppose the Average of column AVG DL is 49,31, too.

I want to color all the cells in AVG DL column that are < to 49,31/2 = 24,65 using the formula you have described below in your gentle reply.

 

I'd like to understand why the formula works when I use a scalar value (i.e. 24) and not when I use the variable (AlertDL)!

Thank in advance for your help!!
