    Hi kowas2,

    Check out below solution which is a workaround as directly adding Cumulative Attrition % and Target % to the clustered column chart will not enable conditional formatting or can show conditional formatting for only diff%.

    Create two measures - Attrition % (Less) and Attrition % (More) - It helps to show less % bar as green and more % bar as red. 

    Attrition (Less) = IF(SUM(Table1[Cumulative Attrition %])<= SUM(Table1[Target %]), SUM(Table1[Cumulative Attrition %]))
    Attrition (More) = IF(SUM(Table1[Cumulative Attrition %])> SUM(Table1[Target %]), SUM(Table1[Cumulative Attrition %]))

    Add these two measures along with Target % to clustered chart.

    Go to Visual Formatting > Columns > Choose Series > Choose each field and select colour for each of them.

    Check below example for Attrition Less

    Then, in Columns > Choose Series - All > Layout > Modify changes as below to align the bars accordingly. 

    Result
