    Hi  PowerrrBrrr ,

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. Create measure.

    color =
IF(
    MAX('Table'[Value])=0,"red","green"
)
    status =
IF(
    MAX('Table'[Value])=0,"Inactive","Running")

    2. Select Format – Conditional formatting – Machines – Background color.

    3. Enter the Background color interface.

    Format by – Field value

    Based on field – [color]

    4. Result:

    Does this match your expected result?

     

    Best Regards,

Here is the data table. So if you see Machine 3 will be showing Red and should show "Inactive" while all other machine are showing green but should show text "Running" also

MachinesValueTimestamp
Machine1  232021-08-12
Machine2    22021-09-08
Machine3   02021-09-01
Machine1  112021-08-23

Hi PowerrrBrrr ,

 

Create following measure for giving a background color based on text value:

conditionalColor =
VAR t1 =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( conditionalData[Machines] )
RETURN
    SWITCH ( TRUE (), t1 = "Machine3", "#ff0000", "#009900" )

Then you can use above measure to get dynamic background color for Machines column, something like below:

Similarly, you can create another measure for Running/Inactive text:

conditionalStatus = 
var t1 = SELECTEDVALUE(conditionalData[Machines])
RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    t1 = "Machine3", "Inactive", "Running"
)

You will something as below:

 

Let me know how you get along with this solution.

 

Thanks,

Pragati

    But here you are putting Machine 3 as Red and Inactive in your Formulae. In my case it can be any machine.. Machine 3 I gave as an example

      HI PowerrrBrrr ,

       

      In that case you need to write a set of rules for me to create a measure. 🙂

      You can even modify the above measures based on your requirement.

      Also, I don't understand what do you mean by - any machine. Do you want your Machine column value coming from a slicer or how you want it to be?

       

      Thanks,

      Pragati

        I gave the rule it is when Value is 0. I dont see anywhere in your DAX that you are checking this condition. you are simply selecting the Machine column and for machine 3 you are putting it as RED. We need to have condition to set it as red when value is 0 and that I have already done with conditional formatting. I am now looking to get conditional text based on value
