Conditional formatting based on changing values

Hello,

I've been asked to show a graphic in a report that has up and down arrows to show the change from quarter to quarter.  I'm fairly new to PBI and have looked at lots of the replies online etc. but I can't get the to work as I think they should.

If I was working in Excel, I would use an IF Function, if this is > than that, Red.

The data I am working with is a specific count of something, there is no working out a percentage of a target number, it is either more than, or less than, the number in the previous month, an example below.

Pink99
Yellow814
Blue2751
Green82
Red50
Orange03

 

Please can anyone help?

Many thanks,

Lozza

Either up and down arrows and an equals sign, or a colour coded symbol (red for down, yellow for equals, green for up)?

 

Thank you for looking at this for me.
