Hello Experts, @MFelix

I need help to highlight column of Latest Month.

I have written below DAX and applied to column color but it changes all bar color with latest.

LatestMonthColumnColor =
VAR maxMonth = CALCULATE( max(CycleDayUnpivot[EndDate1stOfMonth]), ALL(CycleDayUnpivot))
RETURN IF(MAX(CycleDays[EndDate1stOfMonth])=maxMonth, "#EE9771")

@Chirag4370 , Create one measure for Latest Month

LatestMonth = CALCULATE(MAX(CycleDayUnpivot[EndDate1stOfMonth]), ALL(CycleDayUnpivot))

 

And trying updating second measure

 

LatestMonthColumnColor =
VAR maxMonth = [LatestMonth]
RETURN IF(MAX(CycleDays[EndDate1stOfMonth]) = maxMonth, "#EE9771", "#DefaultColor")

@Chirag4370 Did you add your measure to the conditional formatting of the column color in the format pane?

@Chirag4370  Review the following attached screenshot and DAX formula:

fahadqadir3_0-1721301301593.png

LatestMonth = 
CALCULATE(
MAX('financials'[Date]),
ALL('financials')
)

 

fahadqadir3_1-1721301379150.png

IsLatestMonth = 
VAR LatestMonth = MONTH([LatestMonth])
VAR LatestYear = YEAR([LatestMonth])
VAR CurrentMonth = MONTH(MAX('financials'[Date]))
VAR CurrentYear = YEAR(MAX('financials'[Date]))
RETURN
IF(CurrentMonth = LatestMonth && CurrentYear = LatestYear, 1, 0)
