How to highlight last column charts

Hello,

 

I am an intermediate in PowerBi and I need your help.

 

I am trying to get my last columns highlighted as you can see below based on current or latest month.

 

I found this DAX formula but it is only working when you have a single column.

 

Is last Period =
VAR CurrentPeriod = MAX(DIM_Calendar[Month_Year])
RETURN
IF(
    DATE(YEAR(CurrentPeriod),MONTH(CurrentPeriod),1) = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1),
    1,
    0
)

 

this is my current view

This is what I would like to get. (this screenshot was manually done)

Many thanks in advance for your help. Don't hesitate if you need more details.

Hi,

 

Adding conditional formating is only available when you have one series in the Column chart. If you want to custom format the Column Chart with multiple series/column you will need to use a Customizable Visualization such as Deneb (https://deneb-viz.github.io/).
