    Hi  masonsmerl17 ,

    I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want.

    1. Create a measure as below

    Conditional formatting = 
VAR _selsdate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Latest Start Date] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _selsdate < TODAY (), "Red",
        DATE ( YEAR ( _selsdate ), MONTH ( _selsdate ), DAY ( _selsdate ) ) = TODAY (), "Green"
    )

    2. Configure conditional formatting

    If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Hello,

 

You can create a column 

Column = IF('Table name'[Date Column Name]>=TODAY(),1,0)
and then to conditional formatting select as below,

it will give you list of options, select conditional formatting and then select background color,

 

and then Format by - Rules 

Based on field - select column that you have created just now

and then you can add rules here
