Color coding by using DAX

I would like to see the color coding same as below (dark color for current quarter or same quarter last year)

 

 

  • Hi,

    Here is one way to do this:

    Measure 42 = var _currentQ = QUARTER(TODAY())
     var _year = YEAR(TODAY())
     var _date = MAX([Date])
     return

    IF(QUARTER(_date)=_currentQ && OR(YEAR(_date)=YEAR(TODAY()),YEAR(_date)=YEAR(TODAY())-1),"Red","Blue")


    Now replace the colors with the one you want (hex codes) and place the measure as conditional formatting like this:


    End result:



    I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!

      Thanks for your help. 
      I also tried using only one condition i.e. of the quarter it also worked for me.
