Conditional Formatting based on different dates

Hi Guys. I am working on a report which requires me to do coditional format based on 3 different dates: 

 

azakir_0-1660290526914.png

In the image below I want to define the first grey box by a date, then the greens/purples by another date and then a third and final date to end the greens. effectively what I'm trying to do is show the contract period in the greens and with the grey show the time between likely award date and start date.

@azakir , You need create a color measure based on date/measure etc. And use that in conditional formatting using field value option

 

example

Color Date = if(FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Date],TODAY()) < date(2022,04,10) ,
Switch(true(),
[SLA] = 1 , "Green" ,
[SLA] >= .75 , "Amber" ,
"Red "
) ,Switch(true(),
[SLA] = 1 , "Green" ,
[SLA] >= .5 , "Amber" ,
"Red "
)
)

 

Color Date =
var _min =minx(allselected(Date,Date[Year])
return
Switch( true(),
FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Year],year(TODAY()))-_min =0 ,"lightgreen",
FIRSTNONBLANK('Date'[Year],year(TODAY()))-_min =0 ,"blue",
"red")

Hi @amitchandak 

Thanks for this, this helps. Would this work if we are working on three different date fields?
