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

When you use the built in percent it is looking at the percent of the values meaning, if you have 10 values and set it to > 90 percent it will format the highest value only.  It has nothing to do with the % number you are displaying.  What you want to use is Number like so:

@abloor ,

 

I believe you just need a second rule.

 

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.
