I want to use different backgroundcolours for different RSSI values. (-90 DarkRed)(-60 Yellow) (-50 Green), but it seems negative numbers get only one fixed backgroundcolour as result. How can I solve this? I also tried to make rules, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Results not what I wanted, should have been between yellow and red
Solved! Go to Solution.
I found the problem thanks to your answer where you mention Sum, I just realised I forgot to make the Column a Integer and it was still a String. I think I overlooked it in the haste.

The rules don't work. Could it have to do with the summarization field? Because I don't want to summarize the values. The value is being calculated in the query and isn't a measure that's made in Power BI.
