Conditional Format on date change

Hi is it possible to conditional format a matrix if a number has changed between dates. I have two dates that i am comparing the ordered date and the order due date. I want to format if the total order number change

 

Ordered Date / Order Due Date15/06/2616/06/2617/06/26
01/05/2625283
02/05/2626253
03/05/2626253

I want to be able to highlight the changes as identified in the above so the based on the ordered date

Change Color = 
VAR _current = [Order Count]
VAR _prev =
CALCULATE(
[Order Count],
PREVIOUS('DueDate'[Order Due Date])
)
RETURN
IF(_current <> _prev && NOT ISBLANK(_prev), "#FFFF00", "#FFFFFF")

Set the matrix cell background to Field Value using this measure.

Hi @maurcoll,

 

Yes, you can achieve it by creating a measure for apply color change. 

 

Create a measure with your conditions.

add your required data to matrix

go to cell elements -> select where you want to apply change (e.g.Background or font)

Select the measure which you just created
