unable to add conditional formatting on a measure which returns text output

pbipbi

the above account stage column is a measure and I am trying to add consitional formatting using measure , and New color code is created suing below DAX query 

 
 
New color code =
VAR colorcode =SELECTEDVALUE('color code'[Account stage])
RETURN

SWITCH(TRUE(),
colorcode ="High Awareness",1,
colorcode ="Medium Awareness",2,
colorcode ="Low Awareness",3,
colorcode ="High conversion",4,
colorcode ="Medium conversion",5,
colorcode ="Low conversion",6,
colorcode ="High Engagement",7,
colorcode ="Medium Engagement",8,
colorcode ="Low Engagement",9

I am not sure what is wrong I am not able to get values in column or able to conditonally format the account stage column

Hi @utkarshshastri ,

 

If the value you are using for the condittional formatting is a measure you must use the measure itself and not the SELECTEDVALUE try the following:

New color code =
SWITCH([Account stage],
"High Awareness",1,
"Medium Awareness",2,
"Low Awareness",3,
"High conversion",4,
"Medium conversion",5,
"Low conversion",6,
"High Engagement",7,
"Medium Engagement",8,
"Low Engagement",9
)
