Bar-chart conditional formatting

In the new format pane of the new version I can no longer find the Conditional formatting option for bar chart. Is there a way to format the bar color in some way (dax maybe)? I've got x-axis=month,...

    Hi AGo ,

     

    If you have something in the legend field, you cannot use formatting.

    It is suggested to put year and month into x-axis and set color.

    You could create a measure like

    Color =
    VAR _currentyear =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[revenues] ),
            FILTER (
                ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
                [month] = MAX ( 'Table'[month] )
                    && [year] = MAX ( 'Table'[year] )
            )
        )
    VAR _lastyear =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[revenues] ),
            FILTER (
                ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
                [month] = MAX ( 'Table'[month] )
                    && [year]
                        = MAX ( 'Table'[year] ) - 1
            )
        )
    RETURN
        IF ( _currentyear < _lastyear, "red" )
    

    Then add the measure into data colors.

     

    You could check more details from my attachment.
