Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You may need below similar measures.

current year = YEAR(TODAY())

column value =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Date].[Year] ) = [current year],
    BLANK (),
    SUM ( Table1[Value] )
)

highlighted column =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Date].[Year] ) = [current year],
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Value] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table1 ), Table1[Date].[Year] = [current year] )
    ),
    BLANK ()
)

Drag corresponding field and measures into column chart and customize data colors to distinguish current year from others.
