Conditional formatting based on datediff

Hi Experts

I have a dimdate table which starts at 01.01.2020 and increments everyday by 1 first column in dimdate table. I want to add a second column which allows me to apply the following CF rules
Based on today's date.
1. If date in row A dimdate table is >= 50 days then red
2. If <=15 days then green otherwise Amber.

Not sure is I need to add a second column to table and CF only works on numerical values.

Hi @Anonymous  , 

Create a measure to calculate the datediff and add Conditional formatting on the measure.

Here's the sample.

Measure = DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[date1]),SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[date2]),DAY)

Hi @Anonymous 

you can use conditional formatting using color name or HEX-code.

see examples here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-conditional-table-formatting#color-by-color-values and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-conditional-table-formatting#color-based-on-a-calc...
