Highlighting the min & max values in a Power BI column chart

Hello,

I'm trying to highlight the max and min value from this chart:

To this:

I tryed using formating colors based on DAX measures like this:

Weekday = FORMAT([Date],"ddd")
Gold Meals Served Average = [Gold Meals Served] / DISTINCTCOUNT('Date'[Date])
!Max_Min Color = 
VAR GetAllDays = ALLSELECTED('Date'[Weekday])
VAR GetMaxValue= MAXX(GetAllDays, CALCULATE([Gold Meals Served Average]))
VAR GetMinValue= MINX(GetAllDays, CALCULATE([Gold Meals Served Average]))
RETURN
IF(
    [Gold Meals Served Average] = GetMaxValue,"#000e2f",
    IF([Gold Meals Served Average] = GetMinValue, "#ffda30","#b3b3b3")
)

But getting not expected result:

Any idea of what could be the problem?
 
Thanks

Hi @carlosgeovany ,

Your approach should work, but you need to check several things:

  • No need to put CALCULATE here: 

 

VAR GetMaxValue= MAXX(GetAllDays, [Gold Meals Served Average])

 

  • Check that GetMaxValue and GetMinValue return the values you expect
  • Make sure your measure returns the value of the Text format

Hi, I made some progres but still no the desired output.

 

Problem is when I sort the column Weekday by the column WeekdayNum so I can see the days in order

As you can see above, now the colors are as spected, but when I try to sort it, the colors change to the same

Hi @carlosgeovany,

Can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep the raw data structure with expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.
