I want to apply background colour using single Measure
If SUM(Table[1]) > 1 , "Green", "Red"
If SUM(Table[2]) > 1 , "Green", "Red"
If SUM(Table[3]) > 1 , "Green", "Red"
If SUM(Table[4]) > 1 , "Green", "Red"
If SUM(Table[5]) > 1 , "Green", "Red"
If SUM(Table[6]) > 1 , "Green", "Red"
If SUM(Table[7]) > 1 , "Green", "Red"

yes, CF on background using only one measure as in your request:

CF_Background = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    SUM(Test[Value]) > 1, "Green",
    "Red"
)

I did change the structure in Power Query as well, though, I unpivoted the data 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjVR0lEyNQMSBkBsZg5imZlCuUDJ2FgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"1" = _t, #"2" = _t, #"3" = _t, #"4" = _t, #"5" = _t, #"6" = _t, #"7" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"1", Int64.Type}, {"2", Int64.Type}, {"3", Int64.Type}, {"4", Int64.Type}, {"5", Int64.Type}, {"6", Int64.Type}, {"7", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Columns"

so that it looks like this:

I then used the Matric visual, swithched in the option pane the values to rows, applied the CF on text and background

Thanks you.
Did you apply background colour using measure?

the closest I can get is using a matrix.
