Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your description, heres my solution.

1.Create a new calculate column.

Column2 = FORMAT('Table'[Column1],"#,##0;(#,##0)")

2.Conditional formatting for column2 like Tahreem24 mentioned.

Put column2 in a visual, select Format--Conditional formatting--front color, and apply the color rule with the value of column1.
