    hi Dalla_Terra - You can try the option to not set the values for the upper and lower limits highted in the below screenshot.

    Just leave these values BLANK and Power BI will idenitify the limits based on the range of values available in your data.

Hi Dalla_Terra ,

 

Try to create a measure like this then apply it to conditional formatting:

IF([YTD VAR%]>0,"green","red")

 

Best Regards,
Liang

Thanks for the help. I like to creative approach but I didn't try it because I wanted to avoid creating another measure on top of the percent measure I was already using.
