Hi,
Is there a way I can do a rule or something in the conditional formatting to add a background color for the highest number without typing the number?
For example, Right now Im doing "greather than > 20" because right now the highest is over 20 but if any of the other go over 20 then they will get a background color and I dont want that. and If I do the range then it shows like the middle one and I want only the top one to get highlighted. Maybe an IF statement ike (IF[ProjectITStaff]=MAXVALUE,1,2) I could use the 1 and 2 in the conditional formatting as stable numbers. I can't figure out the IF statement

Hi @Anonymous
You may use the IF measure in conditional formatting as below for each column.

This is not solved.
Hi @Anonymous
You may create measures as below:
Sum_Pro = CALCULATE(SUM(Data[ProjectITStaff]),ALLEXCEPT(Data,Data[Active]))
IF = IF(SUM(Data[ProjectITStaff])=MAXX(ALL(Data),[Sum_Pro]),1,2)

@v-cherch-msft I want for it to highlight the "Global" row. So the highest number in the global row, not the column header
