I have a matrix with multiple columns, and I'd like the conditional formatting to apply to each column separately, instead of to the entire matrix.  The current result I have formats the background r...

    hi, VEG_Admin 

    Sorry for my careless, you could try this formula for [$/SF/CostCode]

    $/SF/CostCode = RANKX(ALLSELECTED('Buildings'[Building Name]),[$/SF],,ASC)

    Result:

     

    By the way, in the 4th column, these three 0.01 values are different value indeed, please put four decimal places for [

    $/SF

    ].

     

     

    Best Regards,

This isn't quite right, the colors are carrying across all the columns for each building, i.e. Building 1200 is always red, regardless of whether it is the most or least expensive per square foot.  I need the red value to be the lowest amount in each column, not just the building with the lowest total.  So 1200 would be red in column B because it is the lowest, but green in column A becuase it is the highest.

    Thanks for the solution!

    In my case - I had a "Sort by column" for the [Building Name], so the ranking didn't work somehow...

    Only when I deleted the "Order" column - then the RANKX worked.

    So now my "buildings" aren't ordered the way I wanted, but the ranking works.

    Any ideas how to overcome this?
