Conditional Formatting for specific level of matrix

Hi, 
I want to apply conditional formatting ('Field Value', based on a measure) to only the top level of a matrix, regardless of its state (collapsed/expanded). 
It works well when "Totals Only" is selected and the matrix is expanded

but the formatting disappears upon collapsing to the top level:

Here is the measure: 

KPI = IF(ISINSCOPE('Sample Table'[Project Group]),
IF( SUM('Sample Table'[Revenue]) > 1000000, "Green", "Red"), BLANK())

I'd appreciate any guidance on this.

@Renna 

the idea is that the DAX code you wrote  ( the isinscope part )  will always be true on all levels,  

because project group is the first level  , so all lower levels are inscope of the first level. 

 

modify you code to this : 

switch (

true() , 

isinscope( level 2 col of the matrix  ) , blank() , 

 ISINSCOPE('Sample Table'[Project Group]),

if ( SUM('Sample Table'[Revenue]) > 1000000, "Green", "Red")

)

 

 

NB :

you can use if statement . 

i prefer switch for readability . 

 
 
let me know if this works for you .

when applying the conditional formatting, 

apply it to total and values

Hi Daniel, 

Thanks for your response. When I select Values and Totals, it works well when the matrix is collapsed:

But, it also applies to level 2, which I don't want:
