    As per the documentation on CF, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-conditional-table-formatting , it forces you to specify the Min and Max when you select the Values and Totals option in the Apply to dropdown. 

    I managed to figure it out and solve my problem by collapsing the entire level in the Matrix Row Hierarchy. The point to note here is that you will not see CF application on the parent level of the hierarchy if any child level is expanded. you need to close all child levels. Refer to this example below.

    #2 One child-level expanded inside
    #3 Expanded child level (Country causing the CF to stop)
