    1) Create (or reuse) a measure for the value you’re grading

    For a bar chart that’s using “Average of Score”, define it explicitly:

    Avg Score =
    AVERAGE ( '2026 New Detail Table'[Score] )

     

     2) Use that measure in your color measure

    Bar Color =
    VAR s = [Avg Score]
    RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE(),
        s <= 2,      "#D32F2F",          -- red
        s = 3,       "#FBC02D",          -- yellow
                     "#388E3C"             -- green
    )

     

    3) Apply it to the visual correctly

    In the stacked bar chart:

    • Format → Data colors

    • Click fx

    • Format by: Field value

    • Based on field: Bar Color
