expression language like in java to powerbi

Hello,

 

If i have some columns from database that i store thresolds and colors like  

 

ThresoldColor
>0.9#00ff00
>=0.8 && <=0.9#ffbf00
<0.8#fb3318

 

Is it possible that i can parse the column and use it in Measure for conditional formating? By this i mean to check by thresold and return the color.

I doubt expression but you can always create a color measure with cole name of hex code with prefix # and use in conditional formatting

Example

 

Color Date = if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[date],TODAY()) <today(),"lightgreen","red")
if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Value],"true") "true","green","red")


Color sales = if(AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170,"green","red")
Color Year = if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Year],2014) <=2016,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))

Color  = if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Year],2014) <=2016 && AVERAGE(Sales[Sales Amount])<170 
,"lightgreen",if(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Year],2014)>2018,"red","yellow"))
Color sales = if([Sales Today] -[sales yesterday]>0,"green","red")
