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:

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