Conditionally formatting chart

Hello,

 

I want to format my chart in two colours, red and green. 

In one column there are three options to select. For the options cXML and Online is a positive bar in green needed, and red if the percentage is negative. For the paperinvoice it is the opposite. Green bar if the percentage is negative and red if the bar is positive.

 

How do i fix this? I have some random data in a Wetransfer file

@Matthijs1234566 , Create a measure like (changes column and measure name as per need)

Switch( True(),

selectedvalues(Table[Method]) = "cXML" && [Measure] >=0, "Green",

selectedvalues(Table[Method]) = "cXML" && [Measure] <0, "Red",

selectedvalues(Table[Method]) = "paperinvoice " && [Measure] >=0, "Red",

selectedvalues(Table[Method]) = "paperinvoice " && [Measure] <=0, "green",

//add other condition

"white"

)

 

Use this data color/conditional formatting using field value option
