Dynamic Conditional Formatting based on SELECTEDMEASURE()

Hi I am trying to get a Font rule that works for every Calculation without using conditional format style "Rules" and applying them to every calculation . 

poli361_0-1700145284047.png

 

I am using a code like that so I can choose "Field Value" and then this dax measurement

Diff Font = var calc=SELECTEDMEASURE()

var result=if(calc > 0,"Green",if(calc<0,"Red","White"))
RETURN calc

I cant get it right though . Do you know if there is a problem when using SELECTEDMEASURE() in Conditional Formatting .
Thank you a lot in advance

Hi @poli361 ,

 

I seem to understand your needs. You want to set the font in the matrix, but the measures in your matrix are replaced or you have multiple measures, but you don't want to re-modify the conditional formatting because of the replacement, or repeatedly set the conditional formatting.

I'm sorry, it is currently unavailable. You need to erpeat steps each measure you want to apply conditional formatting to.

Maybe you could submit an idea for this:

Conditional formating done at column level.  The only way this would work is if your data all came from a pivot table

 

example:

Measure:

Color =
Var Color_ = if(SELECTEDVALUE(ColorT[Value])>5,"Green")
return Color_

Thank you for replying . I just want to make one measurement to work on any measurement I put . 
In your example you are using one column "ColorT[Value]" , but I want to use a dynamic column , which will be whatever I put inside the matrix table .

I believe you still have to go into conditional formating and choose "Field Value" for the Format Style and your measure with the color data in the "What Field should be base this on"

Thats not the solution I am trying to get . I need to create a measurement to work on any measurement I put on my visual , that's why I am calling SELECTEDMEASURE() . It seems that it doesn't work .
