How to apply conditional formatting to negative values

I try to transform the negative %'s in RED, and the positive ones in GREEN for the field "AvsF YTD%"pbi vraag.jpg

Entering a large negative number in the first value field does not seem to work

Any tips?

Hello  
You can use a conditional field measure for formatting as below;

Measure 2 =
VAR _vaL = [Measure]
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
_vaL < 0 && _vaL > -0.3, "YELLOW",
_vaL < -0.3 && _vaL > -0.55, "PINK",
"")

Hi  @Ptolemaida ,

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

color measure =
IF(
    [AvsF YTD%] >=0 ,"green","red")

2. Select[AvsF YTD%] – Conditional formatting – Background color.

3. Go to the Background color interface.

Format style – Field value

What field should we base this on – [color measure]
