Conditional formatting with different values

Hi

 

I have a table that has a students unit and then their grade. The level can be UG pr PG and they both have different pass marks.

If the level is UG anything that is 39 or below should be red and anything that is 40 or above is green.

If the level is PG anything that is 49 and below should be red and anything that is 50 or above is green.

 

UnitMarkLevel 
Unit 149PGRed
Unit 150PGGreen
Unit 167PGGreen
Unit 239UGRed
Unit 250UGGreen
Unit 260UGGreen

 

how do i put conditional formatting on to reflect the different levels and values

 

thanks for any help

@WJ876400 , Create a measure like

 

Switch(True(),

max(Table[Level]) = " UG" && sum(Table[Mark]) <=39 , "Red" ,

max(Table[Level]) = " UG" && sum(Table[Mark]) > 39 , "Green" ,

max(Table[Level]) = " PG" && sum(Table[Mark]) <=49 , "Red" ,

max(Table[Level]) = " PG" && sum(Table[Mark]) > 49 , "Green" )

 

Use this in conditional formatting using the field value option
