Conditional Formatting with Table Cells

Hello,

This seems like it should be so simple, but based on the options within Power BI, I cannot get it to work. I have table listing active contracts (one contract per row). I then have columns for each month and then the value within the cells show if the contract was "Met", "Not Met", or "NA" that month. Can you tell me how to simply set the background color of these cells based on the value within each?

As an example, I select the column for "March 2023" and go to conditional formatting for the background. However, when I try to create a rule for this, it forces me to select a "summarization" option and that does not apply to this.

Any help is much appreciated!

Matt
