Color that change dynamically with Play axis

[Louis66]

Hello, I have this scatter chart that shows points for each year (here, points for year 2014), using a Play axis as well :

What I would like to do is have the points for the current year in blue, then year-1 in green, year-2 in yellow, and so on. So next year, my blue points will become green. How can I do this with a measure ?

Regards and thanks for your help,

Louis

Hi @Louis66 ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) This is my test data. 

(2) We can create measures.

Measure = SELECTEDVALUE('Selected date'[Year])

color = SWITCH(TRUE(),
MAX('Base'[Year])='Selected date'[Measure],"red",
MAX('Base'[Year])='Selected date'[Measure]+1,"blue",
MAX('Base'[Year])='Selected date'[Measure]+2,"yellow")

(3) Set conditional formatting and then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

Best Regards,

I did try using the following measure :

Color =

    SWITCH(

        SELECTEDVALUE('Selected date'[Année]),

        MAX(Base[Année]),"RED",

        MAX(Base[Année])-1,"BLUE",

        "YELLOW"

        )

Red is OK, but after that, it switches to yellow (no blue)... any reason ?
