conditional formatting for monthly actuals based on monthly target where each row is a unique KPI

Hi there,  I am new to PoweBI desktop and attempting to creating a table with different KPIs in column 1 with annual target nalue in column 2, and actual monthly performance values for the fiscal year in the subsequent columns. 

 

I'd like to have conditional formating for each month's actual values based on the annual target value for each KPI.  As each row contains a unique KPI, the formatting rules will be unique to each row.   Thresholds and table layout shown below.

 

 RedAmberGreen/BestAmberRed
KPI1< 80%80% to 95%> 95%  
KPI2  <=0.200.20 to 0.25>0.25
KPI3  <= 4.54.5 to 4.6>4.6
KPI4  <= 4.54.5 to 4.6>4.6
KPI5< 60%60% to 80%80% to 100%101% to 105%>105%

 

KPI Name2022 TargetJan ActualFeb ActualMar Actual
KPI1 $                9.69 $        9.83 $       10.15 $    14.25
KPI20.210.260.190.21
KPI34.004.554.604.70
KPI4 $            211.00 $    175.00 $     225.00 $  210.00

 

What is the best way to do this?   Thank-you in advance.

Hi, @cm008507 

I'm afraid there is currently no other better way, you have to apply conditional formatting column by column.

Example (conditional formating for column 'Jan actual')

formatting_Jan = 
SWITCH (
    MAX ( 'Fact Table'[KPI Name] ),
    "KPI1",SWITCH (TRUE (),[Jan_Actualvalue] < 0.8, "Red",[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 0.95, "#ffbf00",[Jan_Actualvalue] > 0.95, "light Green"),
    "KPI2",SWITCH (TRUE (),[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 0.20, "light Green",[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 0.25,"#ffbf00",[Jan_Actualvalue] > 0.25, "Red"),
    "KPI3",SWITCH (TRUE (),[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 4.5, "light Green",[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 4.6, "#ffbf00", [Jan_Actualvalue] > 4.6, "Red" ),
    "KPI4",SWITCH (TRUE (),[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 4.5, "light Green", [Jan_Actualvalue] <= 4.6, "#ffbf00",[Jan_Actualvalue] > 4.6, "Red"),
    "KPI5",SWITCH (TRUE (), [Jan_Actualvalue] < 0.6, "Red",[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 0.8, "#ffbf00",[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 1, "light Green",[Jan_Actualvalue] <= 1.05, "#ffbf00",[Jan_Actualvalue] > 1.05,"Red")
)
