Conditional formatting on specific row in matrix based on the value in that row

[JoyceW]

Hi, 

I've created a P&L statement in Power BI, by using a model in Excel and used that for a matrix table. 

This is the model:

Then I created several measures. The measure that is added to the matrix is this one:

BEDRAGEN =
VAR KEUZE = SELECTEDVALUE('MODEL_RESREK'[Item])
Return
SWITCH(TRUE(),
KEUZE = "OMZET", [OMZET TOTAAL],
KEUZE = "KOSTPRIJS TOTAAL", [INKOOPWAARDE TOTAAL],
KEUZE = "BRUTO-RESULTAAT", [BRUTO-RESULTAAT],
KEUZE = "KOSTEN TOTAAL", [KOSTEN TOTAAL],
KEUZE = "NETTO-RESULTAAT", [NETTO-RESULTAAT],
CALCULATE(Meting[TOT_BEDRAGEN], FILTER(KOPPELING, KOPPELING[Sub-categorie]=keuze)))

The matrix works:

Now for NETTO-RESULTAAT I want to conditionally format, where the background of a positive number is green and a negative number is red. 

All I've managed so far is turning the entire row Yellow with this measure and then using it as a conditional formatting on BEDRAGEN:

color = if(max(MODEL_RESREK[Item_lay-out]) ="NETTO-RESULTAAT", "Yellow", "White")

So how do I get to the next step? Any help is very much appreciated.

Try:

color =
IF (
    AND ( MAX ( MODEL_RESREK[Item_lay-out] ) = "NETTO-RESULTAAT", [BEDRAGEN] < 0 ),
    "Red",
    IF (
        AND ( MAX ( MODEL_RESREK[Item_lay-out] ) = "NETTO-RESULTAAT", [BEDRAGEN] > 0 ),
        "Green",
        "White"
    )
)

Have you tried something like this:

color =
SWITCH( TRUE(),
max(MODEL_RESREK[Item_lay-out]) ="NETTO-RESULTAAT", "Yellow",
[BEDRAGEN] > 0, "Green", 
[BEDRAGEN] < 0, "Red", 
"White"

)

Hi, this somehow turned all the other rows green and the row NETTO-RESULTAAT is still yellow. 🙂

@JoyceW Can you provide more details?

Here I have it set up like this:

And [PL Amount] is like this:

Thanks for the detailed answer. It's hard for me to explain sometimes, since I'm still a beginner. Paul's solution worked!
