Conditional Formatting: wrong individual format

I am using conditional formating in a table. For some reason that single cell just turns dark blue because it thinks it's a maximum value in that range. Any thought why this could happen ? 

 

 

 

  • KBUIUS that is the issue, conditional formatting is using sum of net loss but in visual you are showing non summarize data, and that is the problem. You are working with two different numbers.

      This is my thought as well.

       

      KBUIUS In other words, are you formatting the column using the same measure as you're showing in that column?

      so how can I apply Conditional Formatting on the "raw" data without any calculation? 

  • KBUIUS conditional formatting can only use based on the summarized data, maybe instead of SUM  use MAX as an aggregation method.
