Conditional Formatting

Hi,

Just wondering if what I want to do is possible.  I'm trying to use Conditonal Formatting on a measure.  It's the % column as pictured below.

If the value of the measure is 100% or more, then, then I want the font colour to be green.

If the value of the measure is 99.9% or less, then I want the font colour to be red.

 

Here's my measure:

Variance % =
DIVIDE([Revenue], [Budget])
 
When I try to add the rule it's not letting me and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It doesn't seem to have the options I am looking for.
 
Can anyone help please?
 
Thanks very much

    abloor ,

     

    I believe you just need a second rule.
