Conditional Formatting with multiple conditions

I have the matrix below, basically:

 

Device        Error Message         Attempts           Errors           Percentage

Blue1          Did not start                100                   50                    50%

Red1           Interrupted                  150                   50                    33%

 

I created a table of error messages and the color they should be based on percentage.

 

Error Message                         YELLOW               RED

Did not start                                 25%                 50%

Interrupted                                   20%                 30%

 

How can I conditionally format the Percentage column in the matrix based off the values in the reference table?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi paul_jones ,

    The best way for conditional color is:

     

    ConditionalColor =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Error Message] ) = "Did not start"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Percentage] ) = 0.5, "#HexColorcode",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Error Message] ) = "Interrupted"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Percentage] ) = 0.3, "#HexColorcode"
)

     

    If you want to use your second table,you can use CROSSJOIN as well.

    But I did not get the logic. This table is a range?

     

    Btw, Measure above would solve your problem.

    It helped? Mark it as an accepted solution.
    Regards,
    Loran

        Hi,

         

        you can create an measure. If you do so there will Open a bar at the top of your Report. Now you can Type in the Code.
