Conditional formating

I am having trouble getting the negative percentage to show as a red arrow.  conditional formatting doesn't allow me to enter negative numbers. Any ideas on how to fix this? For example, -23.66 % should not be showing as going upward direction. Basically, anything that is in minus should be showing red.

Hi @stribor45 

 

You can create a DAX Measure for the arrow symbol, and another for the color according to the value.
