jitpbi , if you want to color in matrix/table/ display it is possible. But if you want in slicer it is not.

 

You can create a measure like give below and use that in conditional formatting with "field" option.

color =
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum(Table[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum(Table[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
/// Add more conditions
"red"
)

You can check the custom filter for slicer

Hi,

 

Thank you for the solution.

 

I have used the below measure:

 

Colour = SWITCH(
                              TRUE(),
                              FIRSTNONBLANK('Button Colour'[Current Status],"NA")="Healthy","green",
                              FIRSTNONBLANK('Button Colour'[Current Status],"NA")="Anomaly","orange",
                              FIRSTNONBLANK('Button Colour'[Current Status],"NA")="Prolonged Anomaly","yellow")
 
I am using button to show the colour but here i am not able to apply filter on equipment field. So, if i want to use a button for each  different equipment then how to achieve it.
 
Thanks,
