Color code a % Measure

‎06-04-2018 07:53 AM

I have table with a budget to actual % measure that I want to be in red if it is greater than 100%. Meaning % over budget.  I tried using font color scales with no success.  See image.  I have tried using 100 instead of 1 and that does not work.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Joe

hI @Black783,

 

How do you have the measure/column formatted?

 

I have made a sample with a column as % and it works with 1 as you have:

Make the second part of your rule something outrageous like 999.

It worked once I multiplied by 100 and left the value at 1.
