Is there any way to set conditional formatting rules for a whole table based on text fields?
I have looked and can only create conditional formatting rules that are based off numbers. This is a snippet of the table. I would need yes values to be highlighted green, in transit light green, and no in Red.
Would i need to create a number column for each? If so, how would i do that?
Thanks!

Create the following measure, choose conditional formatting, Background , Select Field Value and choose this meaure:
CF =
VAR __V =
MAX ( table[hardware assigned] )
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE (), __V IN { "Yes", "In Transit" }, "Green", __V = "No", "Red" )
