Creating a table which has dynamic header and data

Hi all 
I am creating a new table in which I am creating a date picker using this DAX
Calendar =
VAR Days = CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2024, 1, 1 ), DATE ( 2024, 12, 31 ) )
RETURN ADDCOLUMNS (
Days,
"Formatted Date", FORMAT([Date], "yyyy-mm-dd"),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] ),
"Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
"Year Month Number", YEAR ( [Date] ) * 12 + MONTH ( [Date] ) - 1,
"Year Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm yy" ),
"Week Number", WEEKNUM ( [Date] ),
"Week Number and Year", "W" & WEEKNUM ( [Date] ) & " " & YEAR ( [Date] ),
"WeekYearNumber", YEAR ( [Date] ) & 100 + WEEKNUM ( [Date] ),
"Is Working Day", NOT WEEKDAY([Date]) IN {1,7}
)
Now I have data

Hi  @user_34 ,

Thanks for the reply from @amitchandak , please allow me to provide another insight: 

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

color =
var _today=TODAY()
return
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    MAX('Table'[Date])=_today&&MAX('Table'[Final time])>=MAX('Table'[Start Time])&&MAX('Table'[Final time])<=MAX('Table'[Target Time]),"green",
    MAX('Table'[Date])=_today&&MAX('Table'[Final time])=BLANK()&&MAX('Table'[Start Time])>MAX('Table'[Target Time]),"red",
    MAX('Table'[Date])=_today&&MAX('Table'[Final time])=BLANK()&&MAX('Table'[Start Time])<MAX('Table'[Target Time]),"yellow")

2. Select filed – Conditional formatting – Background color.

@user_34 , You can create a measure and use that in conditional formatting using field value option

 

example measures

 

 

Color = Switch( True() ,
Max(Table[Status]) < 200 ,
Switch(true(),
[ERB] = .25 , "Orange" ,
"Red "
) ,
Max(Table[Status]) < 500 ,
Switch(true(),
[ERB] = .25 , "Orange" ,
"Red "
) ,
Switch(true(),
[ERB] = .25 , "Orange" ,
"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")
