step 1 

create count measure

Count = COUNTROWS('Table')


step 2 create the max measure


max of = MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Catgeory]),[Count])


step 3 create the hightlight measure

Highlight = 
VAR cond = 
IF([Count] = [max of],1,0)
RETURN
IF(cond = 1 , "Red","Green")


step 4 press on your table and go to cell elemnt in the format panel

hello i did a simple dataset

annonymous1999_0-1690897972294.png


i created a measure Total which is = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total]))

now i added them to a table

next you need to create a measur ethat will identify what is your max and minimum

Max Value = 
VAR _m = MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Total Is])
VAR _con = IF(_m=[Total Is],1,0)
RETURN
IF(_con = 1 , "Red","Green")


next, press on your table to format it ,

go to cell ement part of the format and toggle on background color

choose field value and select your measure
