Conditional formatting in table with percentages

Good, I've been trying to apply conditional formatting to a column in a table that has percentages. Basically what I wanted to do was place red if the percentage was between 0 and 10, yellow between 10 and 20, and green between 20 and 100.

Using a measure, I managed to conditionally format that column as I show:

Now, if "I don't use a measure" to set the conditional formatting of the column I can't make it work. That is, if in the "Depending on the Field" drop-down (within the conditional formatting edition) I select the data count does not work:

If you look at the values in the % ASSIGNMENTS column, I set them as percentages:

I understand that in this second way I should walk... Do you know if it's an app error or am I wrong about something?

Best regards

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

 

In your case, you need to use measure instead of column field to set color rules. If you use the column , there is no percent options in summarization.

@Syndicate_Admin , 1. Use number/ absolute value, In place of percent in the conditional formatting screen.

2. If it is % because you mark it % column. It means value is in the range of 0 to 1 and power bi showing it multiply by 100

3. 0 to 10 mean 0 to .1 and so on

Good morning, thanks for the answer. I tried that method and others but it doesn't work for me:

I'm left if it's not an application error.

Thank you, I wanted to get that doubt out, it would be nice if the tool allowed it without having to resort to a measure. Best regards
