@suyogbi , Try like  

sales amount

Rank = rankx(allselected(Table[Customer]), [sales amount])

 

// sales amount is a measure  

 

Color = 

var _1 = mod([Rank],2) 

return 

if(_1,=1, "Blue", "Green")

 

You need use conditional formatting using field value option with this measure

@suyogbi , No, you have to use conditional formatting to get this.

 

May be create a rank on customer and measure and use mod with 2 and us that in conditional formatting
