Helper IIConditional formatting with rules... base maximum off of table value?
Again, I am trying to do something that should be simple, but I cannot figure out how to do it in Power BI. I am using a gauge-style visual with conditional formatting for the data color. I want to set it up with two rules: for values between zero and the "target value", I want it red. For values above the "target value", I want it green. Seems pretty straight-forward for this type of visual.
However, those fields for min/max seem to only accept numerical inputs. I need to drive these formatting rules with the "target value" from my table, because it changes from day to day.
Is this possible?
Thank you.

kwpbiThanks, Parry2k, this is almost what I need... I think we need to take one step further?
The [value] that I am reporting is a sum from a visual-level, relative-date filter. Can you think of a way to make this work when that [value] is not coming from a table?

It took some trial and error, but I got this to work using a series of measures for each scenario. Here is what I came up with for my final code:
WEEK-TAR =VAR WETAR =SUM('Sales Visuals Data'[Weekly Target])RETURN WETARWEEK-COLOR =VAR WECOL =IF(SUM(YTD_Invoices[INVOICEAMOUNT])>='Sales Visuals Data'[WEEK-TAR],"GREEN","RED")RETURN WECOLMONTH-TAR =VAR MOTAR =SUM('Sales Visuals Data'[Monthly Target])RETURN MOTARMONTH-COLOR =VAR MOCOL =IF(SUM(YTD_Invoices[INVOICEAMOUNT])>='Sales Visuals Data'[MONTH-TAR],"GREEN","RED")RETURN MOCOL2019-YTD-TAR =VAR YTDTAR =SUM('Sales Visuals Data'[2019 YTD Target])RETURN YTDTARYTD-COLOR =VAR YTDCOL =IF(SUM(YTD_Invoices[INVOICEAMOUNT])>='Sales Visuals Data'[2019-YTD-TAR],"GREEN","RED")RETURN YTDCOLThanks again for your help!

Hi kwpbi ,
We can set condiftional formatting by filed value based on measure like this.
Measure 2 = var a = SUM('FACT TABLE'[value]) return IF(a>='target table'[Target var],"#01B8AA","#FD625E")Before that, we can create a target measure as below.
Target var = var maxd = CALCULATE(MAX('target table'[date]),ALLSELECTED('target table')) return CALCULATE(MAX('target table'[target]),FILTER('target table','target table'[date] = maxd))Then we can get the result as below by table visual.
