Hi @Mikahel369 ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

Create a measure.

Color =
IF (
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[COLORTHAT] = MAX ( 'Table'[COLORTHAT] ) )
    ) > 1,
    "Red"
)

In the visualizations pane, select the drop-box of COLORTHAT, then click Conditional formatting>Font color.

You can use this formula in conditional fomatting.

 

 

Select first the range in which you want to apply the conditional formatting (in my case C3:C6)

Go to the HOME --> Conditional formatting --> New rules --> "Use formula ..:".

 

Paste this formula to the box--> =IF(COUNTIF($C$3:$C$6;C3)>1;TRUE;FALSE)

 

Click FORMAT and adjust the formatting and then press OK.

 

If it doesn't work get back and remove from the formula the double quotes.

 

Check the question as solved if I helped you.
