Conditional formatting (background color) each cell separately in matrix

Hello, 

 

Im trying to apply logic into matrix but based on different rule for almost each cell in a row.
I'm using currently only one measure to give me percentage result.

 

What i have so far:

What the result of formatting should look like:

Appreciate your help, Dan 🙂

Hi @Daniel_Derbin,

 

For this you need to create a metric similar to this:

 

 

Formating =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "0-30 days"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Severity] ) = "Critical"
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] >= 0.92, "Green",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "31-60 days"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Severity] ) = "Critical"
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] <= 0.08
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] > 0, "Yellow",
    (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "0-30 days"
            || SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "31-61 days"
    )
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Severity] ) = "High"
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] >= 0.95, "Green",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "61-90 days"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Severity] ) = "High"
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] <= 0.05
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] > 0, "Yellow",
    (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "0-30 days"
            || SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "31-61 days"
            || SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "61-90 days"
    )
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Severity] ) = "Medium"
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] >= 0.95, "Green",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "91-180 days"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Severity] ) = "Medium"
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] <= 0.05
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] > 0, "Yellow",
    (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "0-30 days"
            || SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "31-61 days"
            || SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "61-90 days"
            || SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "91-180 days"
    )
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Severity] ) = "Low"
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] >= 0.95, "Green",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "180-360 days"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Severity] ) = "Low"
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] <= 0.05
        && [% of vuln wo Sev] > 0, "Yellow",
    "Red"
)

This may need some adjustments, there is also an option to create a table with the values of your maximum and minimun values if you want I can try and setup that table that would allow you to give you a better editing option in the future.

    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Record age] ) = "180-360 days"
