Conditionally format YEARLY MAX and MIN values in line chart / column chart

Hello everyone, 

 

Please help to write a measure that calculates yearly MAX and yearly MIN values so that I can use this measure to conditionally format points on the line chart or columns on the bar chart. Here is a simple example done in Excel. I want to achieve the same result in Power BI.

Hello to whoever is looking through this thread. 

So far, I have only managed to highlight MIN and MAX for ENTIRE range of dates, however, this is not what I need. I still hope someone helps me out to write a measure to highlight yearly/annual MAX and MIN value.

@Anonymous , Create a bar visual and use a measure like give below in data color (advance option) with field value option (conditional formatting)

 

measure =
var _min = minx(values(Date[Date]),[Value])
var _max = minx(values(Date[Date]),[Value])
return
Switch(true() ,
[Value] = _min , "red",
[Value] = _max , "green",
"blue"
)

 

And then convert to like with marker.

@amitchandak , unfortunately, it still shows the same result. Looks like this measure does not go beyond MIN. Any other ideas? Thank you for help.
