Complex conditional formatting

This is all detailed in a question I posted in another MPBI forum: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Conditional-formatting-DAX/m-p/2561478#M72884 

Posting here for more visibility.

Hi, @Back2Basics 

 

You can try the following methods.

Matrix select =
IF (
    ISFILTERED ( 'Report measures'[Unique ID] ),
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Report measures'[Unique ID] ) IN VALUES ( Workbook[Unique ID] ),
        1
    )
)
Color = 
IF([Matrix select]=1,"Green")

Select the background color of Linked ID and set Color measure.

Is this the output you expect?

Thanks so much for the reply @v-zhangti 

Unfortunately what I'm trying to do is slightly different. The table I have oes not display the Linked ID field, but a field called 'outcomes'. This is setup as a matrix and counts the outcomes against impact level, with the count being number of ID's. 

I'm trying it a different route now but having errors when merging which I can' figure out either: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Merge-not-working/m-p/2563769
