How to apply Conditional Formatting comparing a column and a calculated measure?

Hello,

I am having a hard time while applying conditional formatting based on multiple columns.

This is the chart I am trying to apply the conditional formatting on:

 

 

X is a calculated measure. Both the columns are from the same table in the model.

 

First, I tried to create a column like this to define the format:

 

 

According to this, the second row should turn red and the other two should remain green. But when I apply this on the conditional formatting on field X, this happens:

 

 

 

You can see that it is returning all the values as ‘green’ which shouldn’t be the case. Specially with the second value.

Also in the Font Color – X settings, why is it summarizing on ‘First’?

 

I tried to eliminate the CATEGORY column condition from the measure and kept it only on the condition if X > 0.75 but the result is the same. Even though if I apply conditional formatting on the X field directly via chart settings, it works perfectly fine. What could be the issue here? I want to use both Category and X for conditional formatting.

 

If it helps, there are other columns and measures other than these two in the table as well.

Please let me know how I can fix this. Thanks!
