Custom conditional formatting

Hi Justas4478
What exactly do you mean by the latest value for each month? So, if the most recent date with a value in December is the 31st and that value is 1, would you use that value? Then, would you compare it with the corresponding value from the previous month?
If you simply want the compare the value of this vs previous months value, try:
Conditional formatting color = VAR _PrevMonth = CALCULATE ( [my measure], PREVIOUSMONTH ( datestable[date] ) ) VAR _Difference = [my measure] - _PrevMonth VAR _Color = IF ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( _PrevMonth ) ) && NOT ( ISBLANK ( [my measure] ) ), IF ( _difference > 0, "green", IF ( difference < 0, "red" ) ) ) RETURN _ColorSelect field value from conditional formatting option and use the measure above. You may replace red or green with RGB, RGBA or hexadecimal values.
Instead of PREVIOUSMONTH, use SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR. This compares 1/1/24 with 1/1/23 or Feb 2024 with Feb 2023. Please ensure that your dates table has been marked as such.
danextian I just changed to SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR and it seams to have worked.
I still need to check in detail.
