Erratic displays of icons with conditional formatting

I am using a red/green icon with conditional formatting.  Everything under 50.9999% should be green, everything above should be red.  However, when I apply the conditions I get a mix of icon colors (red/green) not aligned to the conditional criteria.  Why?

@dekidroske , when say %, You use Number( Not percent ) in the option and use .5 for 50% if that is % column

 

You can also create measure and use field value option

 

example

Switch(true(),
[SLA] = 1 , "Green" ,
[SLA] >= .5 , "Amber" ,
"Red "
)

HI @dekidroske,

Does any aggregation apply to your value fields? If that is the case, the condition formatting is to check the detailed records instead of aggregated values.
I think you need to use a measure with to calculate the aggregate values and use it to apply conditional formatting.
