    Hi Anonymous ,

    Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:

    Create three parameters:

    Create a measure:

    Measure = var V=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]))
return IF(V>R[R Value],"#FD625E",
            IF(V>[A Value]&&V<R[R Value],"#F2C80F",
                IF(V>G[G Value]&&V<R[R Value],"#01B8AA")))

    Using the conditional formatting withe the above measure for your matrix:

    Now you could change the parameters for your colored visual.

    You could also download the pbix file to have a view.

    Genius v-danhe-msft , thank you very much for this solution.

     

    Any ideas how I can default all other blank values as grey or something similar? seems like the else in the if statement doesnt allow for this?

     

    See below of my version:

     

     
    ColourLogic = VAR V= [AboveSD%s]*100
return 
SWITCH(TRUE(),
            V>=[%Red_Param Value],"#FF3333",
            V>='%Amber_Param'[%Amber_Param Value],"#FFCE33",
            V>='%Green_Param'[%Green_Param Value], "#71FF33", 
            ISBLANK(V),"#CCCCCC")

    Its the else bit that doesnt appear to work. Ive tried without the ISBLANK also.

      Hi Anonymous ,

      Could you have refered my measure:

      Measure = var V=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]))
return IF(V>R[R Value],"#FD625E",
            IF(V>[A Value]&&V<R[R Value],"#F2C80F",
                IF(V>G[G Value]&&V<R[R Value],"#01B8AA")))

      You need to give your IF condition with a range, if all IF condition is >, the dax could only show one of the IF conditions.
