Conditional Formatting in Matrix with Measures Grouped by Columns

Hi All,   Hope you can help.   I am trying to wrap my head around Conditional formatting using a gradient for a Matrix that has Columns based off Measures. The gradient conditional formatting is...

    Hi , Slabbos 

    If you want to show the two color you can try to add some judgement in dax code , like this:

    Measure 2 = 
var _rankx = rankx(ALL('Table'[Brand]),CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[Value])),,DESC,Dense)
var init_color = 0.5
var _end_color =FORMAT( ((1-init_color)/(COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))/2) )*_rankx , "0%")
var _end_color2 =FORMAT((COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))-_rankx)*(init_color/(COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))/2))+init_color,"0%")

return
IF(_rankx< COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))/2 , "hsl(80,100%,"&_end_color&")",   "hsl(0,100%,"&_end_color&")")

     

    Then we can get this:

Hi ,  Slabbos 

According to your descripition, you want to "Conditional Formatting in Matrix with Measures Grouped by Columns".

I tested it in my side, and the built-in gradient conditional format cannot take effect according to the context. He judges all the fields that are put in.

For your need , you can try to use the dax code to try to realize it .

Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)This is my test data:

 

(2)Then we can create a measure like this:

Measure = 
var _rankx = rankx(ALL('Table'[Brand]),CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[Value])),,DESC,Dense)
var init_color = 0.5
var _end_color =FORMAT( init_color + (1-init_color)/COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))*_rankx,"0%")
return
"hsl(220,100%,"&_end_color&")"

(3)We can configure it in the background color:

The result is as follows:

Hi,

 

Thank You, I get the Idea, and I may be able to work with this. But it seems your solution is for 1 colour only. I would like to have it be a gradient from Green(Highest Value) to Red(Lowest Value).

Will play around and let you know if I can figure it out.

      Hi,

      Thank You. That is it. Just 1 Slight change, you didnt use _end_color2. After changing that it works perfectly. Thanks again for your help.

      Measure 4 = 
var _rankx = rankx(ALL('Table'[Brand]),CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[Value])),,DESC,Dense)
var init_color = 0.5
var _end_color =FORMAT( ((1-init_color)/(COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))/2) )*_rankx , "0%")
var _end_color2 =FORMAT((COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))-_rankx)*(init_color/(COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))/2))+init_color,"0%")

return
IF(_rankx< COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Brand]))/2 , "hsl(80,100%,"&_end_color&")",   "hsl(0,100%,"&_end_color2&")")
