Conditional formatting for one column based on value in another table

I have this table here:

 

Sonia316_0-1655846320049.png

Profile is a SharePoint field drop down.  I have a profile master list that stores all of the data for the stoplight values for each profile.  I want to color code the values of each measurement based on the profile master.  

 

I assume I have to create measures for each profile.  I'm fairly new to PowerBI and I just don't know how to write the measure.

 

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

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

when applying it I got this

I'm using this as my JSON in SharePoint

"background-color": "=if(@currentField == '', 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)', if(@currentField < [$Profile_x003a_IRVWidthA], 'rgba(240, 52, 52, 1)', if(@currentField <= [$Profile_x003a_IRVWidthB], 'rgba(255, 255, 126, 1)', if(@currentField < [$Profile_x003a_IRVWidthC], 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)', if(@currentField <= [$Profile_x003a_IRVWidthD], 'rgba(255, 255, 126, 1)', 'rgba(240, 52, 52, 1)')))))"
},
