    This example has the targets in table but you could hard code them in a switch statement.
    A table is better because the users can edit the targets without a PBI developer changing DAX. 


    Create a dax measure like this

    KPI Colour =
    VAR mytarget = SELECTEDVALUE(Facts[Target])
    RETURN
    IF(SUM(Facts[Value])> mytarget, "Red","Green")
     
    Then in conditioinal formating select
    Format Style = Field Value

    What field should we base this on = KPI Colour

Thanks
