Conditional formatting not functioning as expected on calculated columns

It seems to me that conditional formatting does not work as expected on calculated columns.  How do you work around that?

    Hi, appsac1 

     

    You can try the following methods.

    Sample data:

    Measure color = IF(SUM('Table'[Value])<=50,"Green","Red")

    Result:

    This adds conditional formatting to the calculation column. If it doesn't solve your problem, please provide sample data and desired output.

appsac1 , Need example what is not working.

Conditional formatting works best when a measure drives it (Gradient/rule or field)
