Background Color Conditional Formatting for a Matrix Visual

For each group represented in rows, I have five categories (A,B,C,D,F) represented in columns and for each category I was able to calculate the count and their respective percentages using values.

 

I want to change the background color : a)Either the entire row b)Group or anything that is self evident. 

 

The condition is if the percentages in categories D and F combined is greater than 25% - Color 1 and if greater than 50% then Color 2

Hi you can create a measure by combining both the column values to create a division and the use that measure in the conditional formatting to apply on each column. 

 

Follow the link to find how to create a background color for complete row on the basis of combined columns value
