Bar chart bar colour conditional formatting

Hi,

I have this clustered bar chart:

I have conditional formatting set via a rule : Red for negative values, Green for positive.

Can anybody thing of a method where I can keep this conditional formatting but also have one of the individual bars highlighted in a different colour depending on whether one of A-L is selected in a slicer?. I don't think its possible, but thought I would ask.

You can achieve this by writing a dax measure for your conditional formatting logic

and then you can choose 'field value' for formatting and then select the measure you created before
