Counting Percentage problem.
The conditional formatting features don't currently support using measurse to determine the back/font colur.
You can use the code to generate arrows or other characters (thumbs up/down etc).
Let me know if you'd like help with that.
I figured out the first part. I created new measure and then I used the Calculate function as below.
Measure = calculate(sum(GoodSale)/TotalSale * 100)
This gives me the desired output in the last column.
The conditional formating is still outstanding. I don't know how to get that done. I have created another measure called ColorCode
ColorCode = if(%GoodSale > 70, "Green", "Red")
This gives additional column at the end that prints Green and Red based on the %GoodSale column value. However, I want to print the text "Green" in Green color and "Red" in Red color. How to get that done? Any idea? Thanks a lot.

I would suggest you to use a DIVIDE() function with its powerful alternative value feature as a third argument.
Percentage =
DIVIDE(
SUM(Table1[GoodSale]),
SUM(Table1[TotalSale ]),
BLANK() // will return blank if error
)You can set the percentage in the Modeling menu and use conditional formatting for your coloring as Phil_Seamark suggested.

I have one more question before closing this out.
While using a Line Chart for percent Good sale for Customers, I see 0-20-40-60-80-100 as pre defined percentage that shows up on vertical axis (y axis). Is there a way to:
1. display 0-10-20-30-40... 100 for percentages?
2. A horizontal dotted line at 70% that clearly shows who is above 70 and who is below 70%?
3. Every customer (x axis) should have his own dot on the graph where it belongs. Today, if i move the cursor i see a pop up value for each customer on the line, but I want to keep a visible dots for each customer. It is easily done in excel. I am looking for that in Power BI.
Thanks a lot.
