Conditional Formatting by rules

Hello everyone, I have this table below in which 23 items are evaluated for each prospect (AQW1, SALW, ...) some items are not applicable to each prospect.

Example:
Prospect AQW1
Total Items = 23
Items not applicable (NA = 14)
Applicable items = 9
Items already evaluated = 7
DAP = 7/9 = 77.78%

 

What I need is for these non-applicable items to be grayed out in the DAP measurement, like this:

But I don't want to keep the NA measure in the table, and when I remove it I lose the formatting.

Is there any way to apply this formatting without the NA measure being in the table?

I believe that the formatting will not work that way, as the percentage calculation (DAP) is done by excluding the NA from the measure, that is:

 

Prospect AQW1
Total Items = 23
Not applicable items (NA = 14)
Applicable items = 9
Items already evaluated = 7

DAP = 7/(23 - 14) = 77.78%

 

NA is being excluded from measure, so formatting will never be applied based on NA condition unless it is in the table.

@Anonymous , even if NA is not there in the table, you can use that in conditional formatting. For greyed out , Do both font and background conditional formatting as grey

 

If needed use color measure

I had tried that way too, but I lose the formatting when I remove the measure from the table.
