    Hi  manosjxmaah ,

    Based on your description, it appears that you’re looking to apply conditional formatting to the Columns of a clustered column chart with Legend in Power BI. However,  conditional formatting cannot be applied to columns when a legend is present, as you might have observed in the Format pane. I recommend reviewing the following thread which discusses a similar requirement. I hope you find it helpful.

    You can not apply conditional formatting to a Cluster Column Chart because the Legend colour is static. 

     

    Please consider using a Line and Cluster Column Chart with:-

    X Axis - Month

    Column Y Axis - Price

    Line y-axis = Benchmark

    Legend - Category

     

    It does not use conditional formating but is an excellent visual if you just have a few categories.

    The graph could get very messy if you hace lots of categories

    Best Regards
