Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can use Transform --> Extract --> Extract between delimiters in Edit query on your Description column.

Try this option with differet delimiters whichever works for you.

Hi,

If you can share a master list of all possible colours which can be found in the Description column, then i can solve this problem with a DAX formula.

@Anonymous , using switch true or if create a color measure like thsi

 

Color Date = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Date],TODAY()) <today(),"lightgreen","red")

or

color =
switch ( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity1" && sum(Table[Value]) >500,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[commodity],"NA") ="commodity2" && sum(Table[Value]) >1000,"lightgreen",
/// Add more conditions
"red"
)

 

In conditional formatting use "field" and the color measure
