Hi Sonia316 ,

 

If there is an active relationship between two tables, you can try to use SUM() to catch values in [Test].

color = 
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Group] ) = "A"
        && SUM('Table'[test]) >= 1
        && SUM('Table'[test]) <= 15, "#1E90FF",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Group] ) = "B"
        && SUM('Table'[test])  >= 1
        && SUM('Table'[test])  <= 30, "#00FA9A",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Group] ) = "C"
        && SUM('Table'[test])  >= 1
        && SUM('Table'[test])  <= 45, "#8A2BE2",
    "#FF0000"
)

Then add this color measure into conditional formatting.

    color2 =
    SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Profile Master'[Title] ) = "Transcend 2.0 Trop 1x5.5 GR"
    && SUM('Quality Check'[WidthTop]) >5.600
    && SUM('Quality Check'[WidthTop]) <5.535, "red",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Profile Master'[Title] ) = "Transcend 2.0 Trop 1x5.5 GR"
    && SUM('Quality Check'[WidthTop]) >5.595
    && SUM('Quality Check'[WidthTop]) <5.600, "yellow",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Profile Master'[Title] ) = "Transcend 2.0 Trop 1x5.5 GR"
    && SUM('Quality Check'[WidthTop]) >5.535
    && SUM('Quality Check'[WidthTop]) <5.540, "yellow",
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Profile Master'[Title] ) = "Transcend 2.0 Trop 1x5.5 GR"
    && SUM('Quality Check'[WidthTop]) >5.587
    && SUM('Quality Check'[WidthTop]) <5.549, "white",
    "#FF0000"
    )

     

    So I Have the formula - unfortunately though I can only add ONE measure to conditional formatting and there are several different widths for different profiles.  Does that mean I have to continue the formula to add in those additional selected values until I cover each of the profiles?  I'm thinking the answer is yes
