Numbers Bars - does this text & background display conflict in a single column?

I have been experimenting with displaying:

- Bid Volume x Ask Volume text coloured based upon on a single Text on Diagonal Dominant Side threshold, e.g. constant colour if it is < threshold (say 300%), highlight colour if >= 300%
- background ABDiff Profile coloured based upon whether bid or ask is dominant

The goal is to colour the background profile according to whether bid or ask dominates and colour the text based upon the diagonal dominant side breaching the threshold

I can see how to colour the background profile using either Volume Percentage or AskVolBidVolDifference Percentage but the overall goal does not seem possible in a single column as if (e.g.) Column # Range 3 threshold is set to 300 (to enable 300%), this is used as an absolute value for the background colouring.

Am I missing something here or is this type of display not possible in a single column due to the mix of comparison thresholds required?

We have not tried this particular configuration ourselves, but there is only one set of Compare Thresholds per column.

So if you cannot see how to accomplish what you want, then it is not possible without using a second numbers bars column.
