@Anonymous , You have to create 3 color measures like these


If(selectedvalue(Table[Rule_id]) =9, "grey", "white") 

 

If(selectedvalue(Table[Rule_id]) =10, "grey", "white")

 

If(selectedvalue(Table[Rule_id]) =7, "grey", "white")

 

And use them in conditional formatting to respective column, background color -> Advance option -> "Field value" and then use one of the required measures
