Hi
I have the below table, the number of students is a count of the students ID and the % of total is the students ID but as a percentage of the row total. I want to format the background colour but just for the % of total column which are RED. I want to coulor the background Red if it is over 10%, Amber if it is 3-9% and Green if under 3%. Is there a way to do this?, thanks for any help

Hi, @WJ876400
According to your description and sample picture, you want to set the conditional format for the [% of Total] for the color Red, right?
You can try my steps:
This is the test data I created according to your sample picture:
Number of students =
COUNTX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[ID]=MAX('Table'[ID])),[ID])
% of Total =
var _total=COUNTX(ALL('Table'),[ID])
return
DIVIDE([Number of students],_total )
Color format =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
[% of Total]>0.1,"Red",
[% of Total]<=0.1&&[% of Total]>=0.03,"Orange",
[% of Total]<0.03,"Green"
)
And you can get what you want, like this:
You can download my test pbix file here
If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.
