Multiple Conditional Formatting using Arrows

Hello,

 

I need help to apply multiple conditional formatting rules to the same column values and show red/green up & down arrows. My table is like the one below. I have used rules and I can negative values with red down arrow & positive values with green up arrows

 

But I don't understand how I can reverse the colors for up/down arrows for certain metrics where increase is worse/decrease is better. Please help 

 

Metric            Q/Q         Formatting Required

Revenue         -10%       Red Down Arrow 

Escalation       -5%         Green Down Arrow

Profit              10%         Green Up Arrow 

TAT                  5%          Red Up Arrow

Hi  @EshaanG ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

Measure =
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    MAX('Table'[Metric])="Revenue",UNICHAR ( 128315 ),
    MAX('Table'[Metric])="Escalation",UNICHAR ( 9660 ),
    MAX('Table'[Metric])="Profit",UNICHAR ( 9650 ),
    MAX('Table'[Metric])="TAT",UNICHAR ( 128314 ))

2. Select Format – Field formatting – [Measure]—Font color is green
