Hi @manojk_pbi ,

I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

1. Create a measure as below

 

Conditional formatting = 
VAR _remark =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Remarks] )
VAR _status =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Status] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _remark <> BLANK ()
            && _status = "In-Progress", "Yellow",
        _remark <> BLANK ()
            && _status = "Active", "Blue",
        _remark <> BLANK ()
            && _status = "Resolved", "#89D26B",
        _remark <> BLANK ()
            && _status = "New", "Grey",
        _remark <> BLANK ()
            && _status = "Closed", "Green"
    )

 

2. Apply conditional formatting

Attached the sample data. The required out is to just fill the background for Remarks column based on 2 conditions. First condition is Remarks should not be blank or empty and then apply color code based on the status.
