    For all but very simple conditional formatting based on rules, it tends to make sense to write a new measure to use for custom formatting. Something like this:

    ColorCode =
    VAR CurrValue = [MeasureUsedInVisual]
    VAR MaxValue = MAXX ( ALL ( DimDate[Year] ), [MeasureUsedInVisual] )
    VAR MinValue = MINX ( ALL ( DimDate[Year] ), [MeasureUsedInVisual] )
    RETURN
        SWITCH ( TRUE (), CurrValue = MaxValue, 1, CurrValue = MinValue, 2 )

    Then you set the conditional formatting rules so that Color = 1 is green and Color = 2 is red.
