background color expression

Hello,

I have this scenario for background color and it is not working atm.

I have 2 tables as attached and they are not linked. I would like to set the color for city on table 1 to green if the city in table 1 is equal to the city in table 2 otherwise red.

at the moment it works fine only when I select the city in table 2 otherwise by default everything is red.

What I need is for the background expression to check table2 and load the appropriate color even without selection.

how could this be written?

Your assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

Didier

May be this:

If(Avg({<City = p(City1)>} 1) = 1, GREEN(), RED())

Thanks a lot Sunny for all your help really appreciate.It worked.

I have one question though, If I didn't want the '1' TO SHOW inside the color is there a way to keep it as pivot table but only have the color showing?

Use the same expression for your text color
