Hi @Zakaria_1980 ,

Please create a measure as below and set the conditional formatting as below screenshot:

Cond Formatting = 
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    [-Planning Accuracy_BVP (BP vs AC)] < 0.5, "Red",
    [-Planning Accuracy_BVP (BP vs AC)] < 0.9, "Orange",
    "Green"
)

If the above one is not working for your scenario, please share some sample data or your simplified pbix file(exclude sensitive data) in order to provide you a suitable solution. Thank you.

Best Regards

Try changing the order of the IFs in the conditional cormatting:

First: less the 50%
Second: less than 90%
Third: less than 100%

 

Or

Create a measure to use for the field value in the conditional formatting:

Cond Formatting =
SWITCH([Planning accuracy measure],
< 0.5, "Red",

< 0.9, "Orange",

"Green")

even if i changed the order it still the same.

when i created the measure, it gives to me unexpected expression for the "<"

Apologies. It should be:

Cond Formatting =
SWITCH ( TRUE() ,
[Planning accuracy measure]< 0.5, "Red",

[Planning accuracy measure]< 0.9, "Orange",

"Green")
