Clustered Column Chart - Data Colours Keep Changing on Data Refresh

Hi,

 

I have a Clustered Column Chart that is filtered to only show the last 3 months worth of data. Each month this report is updated automatically and a new months data is added (the previous month). When the report refreshes; a new month is added to the visual and the data colours keep changing and reflect the theme. I don't want this.

 

I want the first date (the earliest) to be red, the middle date to be grey and the last date (latest) to be black. I want this no matter which 3 months are selected. Is there any way to acheive this?

 

What it should look like:

 

 

What happens on refresh:

    Hi  Anonymous ,

     

    Create a measure as below:

    Measure =
VAR _lastmonth =
    CALCULATE ( MONTH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ), ALL ( 'Table' ) )
VAR _middilemonth =
    IF ( _lastmonth = 1, 12, _lastmonth - 1 )
VAR _firstmonth =
    IF ( _lastmonth = 2, 12, IF ( _lastmonth = 1, 11, _lastmonth - 2 ) )
RETURN
    IF (
        MONTH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ) = _lastmonth,
        1,
        IF (
            MONTH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ) = _middilemonth,
            2,
            IF ( MONTH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ) = _firstmonth, 3 )
        )
    )

    Then go to field>data color>formatting:

    Create a formatting rule as below:

     

    And you will see:

    My sample data is a bit simple,you could adjust the measure to suit your senario.

    Check my .pbix file attached.

     

    Best Regards,
