Conditional formatting complex situation comparing two percentages

I need to conditionally format a column based on the following rules. (also see screenshot below)

If Actual to Target is greater than EE Target % , it is red (employee has charged more to default than target). If Actual to Target is less than EE Target %, it is green (employee has charged less to default than target). If Actual to Target is 100% and the EE Target is 100%, it is green (employee has charged 100% to default which is expected-there are not many of these). If Actual to Target is 100% and the EE Target is less than 100%, it is red (employee has charged 100% to default and their target % is less than 100%).

 

Below is the screenshot with conditional formatting partially working.

Below are my rules. I can't quite get them right. Thanks in advance for the help.

@ahhollan , Create a color measure

 

example

 

if([M1] > [M2], "Green", "Red")

 

or

 

Switch( True() ,
[Percent] =1 , "Green"
[percent] <.75 , "red",
[percent] <.99 , "Yellow"
)

 

Measure =
Switch(true(),
max(Table[status]) = "In production" , Switch(true(),
[SLA] = 1 , "Green" ,
[SLA] >= .5 , "Amber" ,
"Red "
) ,
max(Table[status]) = " Product completed" , Switch(true(),
[SLA] = 1 , "Green" ,
[SLA] >= .5 , "Amber" ,
"Red "
)
)

 

 

Use that is conditional formatting using the field value option
