Hi Chilladin ,
I'm sorry I didn't explain it clearly, what we need is conditional formatting for the percentage field, not for the measure created, also the measure is written with “GREEN” and “RED” just to differentiate, you can use any number or text instead. Depending on your picture, just change it to a conditional formatting of the preceding fields.

You don't need to apologize I am just new to PowerBI, so it's pretty confusing navigating around the many different aspects of it. I'm just thankful for you helping and leading me to the answer 🙂
If I do a conditional formatting I get a different rule so it add a < or >, instead of = that you showed me on your first reply.:
I can refer to my latest reply to amitchandak if you want to see how I tried to do it after his instructions.
So is it correct to assume:
I don't need to create a new measure, but can just use conditional formating on my percentage field?
or
Do I need to combine the measure and my percentage field?

It worked and sorry for the late reply and "accept as solution" I had other tasks that suddenly got a higher priority than this one, but could finally return to it today :).Have a great day and thank you again for your patience and instructions!
