Power BI - Add background color in matrix table based on condition

Hi I need help on how can I add background color in my matrix table based on condition. 

The condition is:

1. Those who get at least 12 and above in total, the background color should be green (total >= 12, background color=green, else will stay as default color)

2. The green background color is ONLY applicable for those who took AT LEAST 1 for Health Screening pillar

3. The end result should be like this: (total >= 12, background color=green, ONLY IF 1 Health Screening has been taken)

 

Refer to my screenshot below:

 

Is it possible to do this in Power BI Desktop? If yes, can you teach me how to do this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Syndicate_Admin 

 

If it's a matrix visual, you can create the following measure for the background color. When setting the background color, select Format style "Field value" based on this measure and apply it to "Totals only". 

BG Color = IF(SUM('Table'[Value])>=12 && CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),'Table'[Category]="Health Screening")>=1, "#00FF00")

Hi @Syndicate_Admin , I have a question. Based on my previous question and your solution, is it possible if I want to count the total green?
