    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.

    Select the measure in the dialog.

    Get the expected result:

    I attach my sample below for your reference.

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.
