Background clolor

Hi. I have a problem. I have a column that should show different background colors. I can not do this via condition control.


I have three columns. One column with Yes and No, one column with dates and a third with Datediff. I have combined the Yes and No column and the Date column into a separate column as in the picture. What I want is that if it says Yes or No and is over -14, it should be unchanged.

If it says No and is between -14 to 0, the background should be yellow, if it says No and is more than 0 to Max, the background should be red. How do I fix this??

Thanks
// Mattias

@Bergh , You can create column meausre

COlor =

Var _max = max(Table[Datediff])

return

switch(True() ,

left(Max(Table[Column1]),2) = "No" && _max >=-14 && _max< 0 , "Yellow",

left(Max(Table[Column1]),2) = "No" && _max > 0 , "Red",

"White"

)

The problem I have now is that the "No" don't recognize in the code:

If I take away the "No" thing, the color work but when in the "No" code everything get White. Can it be the Max in LEFT(Max that is the problem?
