Conditional Formatting

Hi, I have a column called Status which shows the status for each row, filled with either a G, C, IP etc: see below all the RAG's I have. 

The conditional formatting on the report builder only works for G and R. I have also tried creating a new column with switch and IF functions to replace the alphabetical values with numerical which resulted in only G and R being converted to numbers. I also tried to create a conditional column in power query to achieve the switch to numbers, but get the same thing; only G and R get populated and I get a "Null" for all the others.

 

G (Green)

IP (In-Progress)

OH (On-Hold)

R (Red)

NS (Not-Started)

C (Complete)

 

Any advise on how to fix this?
