Hi @quickbi ,

 

Thanks for the reply from @parry2k .

 

As he said, what is the specific error message?

 

I created sample data for testing:

level

background

A

#FFFFFF

B

#FFFFFF

C

#FFFFFF

D

#FFFFFF

E

#FFFFFF

 

Set conditional formatting.

This is what it looks like before setting conditional formatting:

This is after applying conditional formatting:

It works fine.

 

If possible, can you provide me with the pbix file?
