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
