Issue with Background color from cell elements

I am having issue with background color when I change it from default value to some other color. I am expecting the highest value from each year to be highlighted with dark color (Ex:2024). The year comes from a different table, Test months come from different table and so the is the % values. No measures used. Anyone faced similar issue?

I do not want to use the formatting style: rule as I have to set defined percentages. Trying to built this report like a heat map and I would like to know why the formatting style: gradient works fine with default color and doesn't when the color was changed.

Hi @hemamaleni ,

Apply conditional formatting rules to the cells containing the percentage values. Set up a rule that highlights the maximum value in each row (for each year) with the desired dark color.
