    Hi  rosscortb ,

    You can modify your dax like this:

    Column = 
IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] > 10,"Red",
IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >=1 || 'Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] <= 2,"Red",
IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >= 6 || 'Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports]<= 10,"Green",
IF('Spans & Layers'[Grade] in {"S1","S2","S3","S4"},"Black","Orange"))))

     

    Best Regards,

    Liu Yang

rosscortb I tried formulate it as per my understanding. Try this out and let me know if it's giving you correct result or not. 


Column = IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] > 10,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >=1 && 'Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] <= 2,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >= 6 && 'Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] <=10,"Green",IF('Spans & Layers'[Grade] = in {"S1","S2","S3","S4"},"Black","Orange"))))

Tahreem24 it had errors with <=  and then in.

So, changed to this but still has the value and format error as seen in my previous screenshot

Column = IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] > 10,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >=1 <= 2,"Red",IF('Spans & Layers'[Direct Reports] >= 6 <= 10,"Green",IF('Spans & Layers'[Grade] in {"S1","S2","S3","S4"},"Black","Orange"))))
