Need to modify dax measure to show red if the number is negative.

Power BI Community Good Day!

I am using the following measure in my dashboard as a label.

The number is negative. How can I modify the dax measure below to show red if the number is negative? 

 

Amount Lost = CALCULATE(SUM(metricsrevenuecustomer[amount]),metricsrevenuecustomer[revenue_type_lvl2] ="Lost")
 
Much appreciate your time.
 
Thank you

Hi, @PBI-Curious 

 

Conditionally formatted measures need to be written separately.

Color measure = IF([Amount Lost]<0,"Red")

This is the Card view.

This is the Table view.

Is this the result you expect?

You can use conditional formatting on the visual - see this guide for how to do that: https://radacad.com/dax-and-conditional-formatting-better-together-find-the-biggest-and-smallest-num...
