DAX Conditional Formatting - Multiple Conditions

[Anonymous]

Hi, I need some help creating a measure to use for conditional formatting in a matrix. I have the following matrix:

In addition to this, I have a slicer that filters for the following metrics: net sales, COGS, EBITDA, op inc, Gross margin, and SG&A. 

I only need conditional formatting for the "Variance" row. It needs to be based on a couple of conditions. 

When COGS or SG&A is selected in the slicer AND variance >= 0, I need the background colored "#FFC7CE"
When COGS or SG&A is selected in the slicer AND variance < 0, I need the background colored "#C6EFCE"

When anything else is selected (i.e. net sales, EBITDA, op inc, and gross margin) AND variance >= 0, background color "#C6EFCE"
When anything else is selected AND variance < 0, background color "#FFC7CE"

Any help is appreciated!

I had been having this problem for about two days. Couldn't quite get the solution right, but as soon as I post here, I figured it out. Here's the solution in the event someone coming across this has a similar issue. 

Conditional Formatting =

IF( SELECTEDVALUE(Append3[Metric]) IN {"COGS", "SG&A"} && [Variance] >= 0, 1,

IF( SELECTEDVALUE(Append3[Metric]) IN {"COGS", "SG&A"} && [Variance] < 0, 2,

IF( SELECTEDVALUE(Append3[Metric]) IN {"Net Sales", "EBITDA", "Op Inc", "Gross Margin"} && [Variance] >= 0, 3,

IF( SELECTEDVALUE(Append3[Metric]) IN {"Net Sales", "EBITDA", "Op Inc", "Gross Margin"} && [Variance] < 0, 4))))

From here, under conditional formatting for Variance, I chose rules, selected this measure, and assigned the appropriate colors to the corresponding numbers.
