Conditional Formatting: Highlight Date In Past

[HenryJS]

Hi all,

I would like to highlight cells where the 'Available' date is in the past below. 

How do I do this with conditional formatting?

1. Report

2. Data

Thanks,

Henry

Create a measure like

Color Date = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Available],TODAY()) <today(),"lightgreen","red")

You can use white in else.

In the visualization pane -> Format -> Conditional formatting -> Backgound (Switch On) -> Advance option

Choose format by field value and choose this measure

Hi

All you need to do is create a flag that checks if a date is in the past or not, and then use that for your conditional formatting.

Create a measure like 

Today = TODAY()

This measure will return todays date. Then in your data create a calculated column like

Today Flag = IF([Available] < [Today], 1, 0)

This will generate a column that will return a 1 for dates in the past, and 0 for dates that are either today or in the future.

Then you simply apply conditional formatting in your table, using the sum of "Today Flag" to colour any date that = 1

If you need anymore help please let me know, otherwise please select this as your answer!

Good luck!
