    HI Anonymous,

    Maybe you can try to use the following measure formula on data color formatting to highlight the records that existed in your Approved Software Versions tables:

    Measure =
VAR selected =
    ALLSELECTED ( 'Approved Software Versions'[iOS] )
VAR currVersion =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Purchased App Versions'[iOS Version] )
RETURN
    IF ( currVersion IN selected, "Red", "Blue" )

    Regards,

Hi David (@dedelman_clng )

Thanks for sharing this, I have tried to add this measure but am getting the error below, any ideas please? (Sorry didn't realise this would take me to bits that I have never done before, which I like!)

Hi Anonymous  - "highlight" was the name of my measure, not a DAX command. Sorry for the confusion. 

Also check on the LOOKUPVALUE statement. It needs at least 3 parameters

 

LOOKUPVALUE (Column to Return, Column to match, Value to Match)

 

MeasureName =
VAR __myVer =
    SELECTEDVALUE( Table[iPadOSVer] )
VAR __myAppVal =
    LOOKUPVALUE ( Table2[Approved Version}, Table2[OS], "iOS")
RETURN
    IF ( __myVer = __myAppVal, 1, 0 )
