Conditional Formatting - measures not available

I want to color brands based on Profit by Year.

ProfitLastYear = 
var NumbDays = 
    if(
        TODAY() - FIRSTNONBLANK(Verkoopslijnen[Datum], 1) <= 365
        , TODAY() - FIRSTNONBLANK(Verkoopslijnen[Datum], 1)
        , 365
    )

RETURN
   DIVIDE(
        CALCULATE(
            SUM(Verkoopslijnen[Winst])
            , Kalender[Date] >= TODAY() - NumbDays
        )
        , NumbDays
   )

Second Measure is:

ColorPicker = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE()
    , [ProfitLastYear] < 5, "#00FF00"
    , [ProfitLastYear] < 100, "#FFFF00"
    , [ProfitLastYear] <10000, "#FF0000"
    , "#C0C0C0"
)

Now, I want to use the ColorPicker as conditional Format on my brands, but I cannot click on the measures2018-09-27 14_55_01-.png

Hi,

I had the same issue, and I solved it by changing the measure Data type as Text.

Select the color measure, go to Modeling -> Formatting -> Data Type -> Text and try againg the conditional formatting by field.

When you open the conditional formatting window in the 

Format By you need to select Field Value

then you should be able to select your Measure in Based on Field Smiley Happy
