Conditional Format column chart based on separate date table

Hi everyone,

 

I have a basic column chart with a date table on the x-axis, and values on the y.  The end user can select to view different charts using the "Ramp" slicer.  For each of the values in the Ramp field, there is a separate table consisting of a single specific Transition Date per ramp.  I'd like to colour the columns on the main chart so that if the dates are before the Transition Date, they have a different colour, resulting in each Ramp having it's own colour pattern.

 

Any ideas?  Appreciate any insight!

    Hi Ben_Cates 
    Below is the solution 

    Steps :
    1) create a measure 

     
    SelectedColor =
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        SELECTEDVALUE(Facts[Ramp]) = "Calgary" && LOOKUPVALUE(TransitionDate[Transition Date],  TransitionDate[Ramp], "Calgary") >MAX(Facts[Date]),"#ec8fca",  
        SELECTEDVALUE(Facts[Ramp]) = "Edmonton" && LOOKUPVALUE(TransitionDate[Transition Date],  TransitionDate[Ramp], "Edmonton") >MAX(Facts[Date]),"#FF0000"
    )
     
    2)  select the column chart and go to Format --> Columns --> Color --> fx

    3) after clicking on fx in fromat style select field value  and below that  select the previously created measure.

     

    add more conditions and colour accoding to your choice in measure.

      Here's a link to the dummy .pbix. And a better screenshot below of what I'm trying to achieve.

       

      Both ramps have monthly values from January 2023 through September 2024.  Calgary has a separate transition date of May 1, 2024, so every column prior to that on the chart needs to be a different colour.  When a user slices the chart to display Edmonton, which has a transition date of July 1, 2023, the chart needs to update the formatting so that every column prior to July 1 has a different colour.
