Conditional formatting based on value in another column

[Peter_2020]

Hi all, 

I would like to ask you for help with following issue:

I have the table with 3 columns:

CATEGORY	TARGET	PERFORMANCE
1	110%	109%
2	115%	110%
3	130%	140%

And I need to somehow define the rules for conditional formatting (or other formatting) that if the performance of category 1,2 or 3 is lower than target in the same line put the cells background to red and if the performance of category 1,2 or 3 is higher than target put it green. Expected result is shown here:

CATEGORY	TARGET	PERFORMANCE
1	110%	109% (red background)
2	115%	110% (red background)
3	130%	140% (green background)

Thanks in advance for your help!

@Peter_2020 , Assuming [PERFORMANCE] and [TARGET] are measures

then create a color measure and use that in conditional formatting with field value option

if([PERFORMANCE] <[TARGET] , "Red", "Green")

refer for step

Performance and Target are columns from imported excel table...

@Peter_2020 , Try like

if(max(table[PERFORMANCE]) <Max(Table[TARGET]) , "Red", "Green")

or

if(average(table[PERFORMANCE]) <average(Table[TARGET]) , "Red", "Green")

Hi, 

I'm new to Power bi. 

Where are you inserting the "if" statement into?

Thanks.
