Conditional Statement in Matrix table

I am having issues creating conditional formating in Matrix table

I want to highlight the rows where Actual is more than Budget. I may be using the wrong visual. is there an other visual that can provide similar or better information.

Create the Color measure like this

@lotus22 , For this better to create two measures ,

actual = sumx(filter([Type]="Actual"),[USD])

Budget= sumx(filter([Type]="Budget"),[USD])

 

create a color measure

color = if([actual] >[budget],"green", "white")

Use that in conditional formatting using field values option
