Conditional Formatting based on Brand name

Hi,

 

I have a table with Brand Names in rows and Dates in columns. There are around 30 brands, and new ones can be added along the way. In the table if the brand exists in a certain date, it is marked as Y. I want to colour the font a colour based on the brand name and Ys. The matrix visual should look something like this (this is a summary table, actually there are a lot more brands and dates):

 

 1/1/20211/2/20211/3/20211/4/20211/5/2021
Brand AYYY  
Brand B YYYY
Brand C   YY
Brand DYYY  

 

How do I do this conditional formatting? I have a table like this which identifies the hex code for each brand, but idk how to use it:

BrandColourHex
A#00CCFF
B#CCFFFF
C#CCFFCC
D#FFFF99
E#99CCFF
F#FF99CC
G#CC99FF
H#FFCC99
9#3366FF
10#33CCCC
11#99CC00
12#FFCC00
13#FF9900
14#FF6600

    Hi Anonymous ，

    I created a sample pbix file for you(see attachment), please check whether that is what you want.

    1. Create a measure to get the related color under different brand

    Conditional formatting = 
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( 'Fontcolor format'[ColourHex] ),
    FILTER (
        'Fontcolor format',
        'Fontcolor format'[Brand] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Brand] )
    )
)

    2. Create a matrix and set conditional formatting for Values field as the below screenshot

    Best Regards

    Anonymous , make sure this table it joined with brand you are using or part of the brand table

     

    create a measure max(brandcolor[ColourHex]) and use that is conditional formatting using field value option

     

     

    or measure like

     

    maxx(filter(brandcolor, brandcolor[ColourHex] =max(Table[Brand])),brandcolor[ColourHex])
