    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    According to my understanding, you want to set 

    c-p>0 : Green Arrow 

    c-p<0:  Red Arrow

    You could try this measure:

    Measure =
IF ( MAX ( 'Table'[c] ) - MAX ( 'Table'[p] ) > 0, "Green", "Red" )

    And apply it to Conditional Formatting as shown below:

     

    Best Regards,

Anonymous you are comparing text and number in this measure because Currentlessprevious is returning a text not the number

 

Arrow=If([c]-[p]>0,1,0)
