Conditional Formating a Matrix Based on Average Values

I am trying to conditional format a matrix that I have based on an average value. If my value falls below "X" I want it to be red, and if the value is greater than "X" I want it to be green. I know I can insert a number, but this will not work as the average number which is the benchmark value is constantly changing as more data is added and refreshed. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you!

Hi @leibowjb,

 

You mean the "X" is dynamic. If so, I'm afraid we can't do it by now. You can submit or vote an idea here: number-formatting and conditional-formatting-cell-highligh-font-etc. Maybe there is a workaround that is creating a like this:

 

Measure =
VAR averageS =
    CALCULATE ( AVERAGE ( Table1[Score] ), ALL ( Table1 ) )
RETURN
    IF ( MIN ( 'Table1'[Score] ) <= averageS, 0, 1 )
