Conditional formatting comparing 2 percentage columns

I have a table with actual hrs worked, target hrs to work, target % to wrk, and actual % to target %. I want to color code based on actual % to target % vs actual %. If the number is lower than actual % the background should be green. Otherwise, red.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

@ahhollan , You  can create a measure that returns color based on condition and used that in conditional formatting using field value option

 

Switch(true() ,

[actual%] < [Target%] , "Red", "Green")

 

Change conditions as per need
