Conditional Formatting a Bar Chart using a measure
The soluton did not work exactly but were useful. I was able to resolve it in a differnet way. This can be closed.
I actually did use the conditional formatting by using field value originally and that was the result. But in the Bar section of visual. Is it somewhere else? As it seems I do not see exactly what you put up there in Power BI desktop. Also I tried hex colors. Nothing.
It sounds if Power BI recognizes colors as texts here, I can not tell it too look at as colors.
So much reminds me of Excel when sometimes you can't tell Excel consider the format of column the way I want.
Upon further checking, the conditional color measure works fine for background color, here is how I did this case,
Select visual, Format Visual -> General -> Effects -> Background.
So why it won't work for bar colors?
Here is how I get to bar colors, Format Visual -> Visual -> Bars
