Conditional Formatting Issues

[bhmiller89]

I have a matrix that uses many different data points, all $dollars or perents.

I need to show anything negative (<0) as the Font Color Red. 

When I attempt conditional formatting, I am only presented with the option of "if value is greater than or equal to", "if value is greater than" "if value is blank" and then it always makes me pick a second condition. 

I literally just need to say "if <0, red, else black"

@bhmiller89 , You create a color measure like

Color sales = if(AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])>0,"green","red")

And in conditional formatting use field option and choose this measure

Hi @bhmiller89 ,

I agree with amitchandak. You could use a measure to implement it. 

Measure = IF([Percentage]<0,"Red","Black")

using conditional formatting you can apply a single condition:
