Hey, @Shanvitha01

According to your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached at the end.

You can go to 'Query Editor' and add an index column on the Add Column ribbon.

You can then create a measure as shown below.

Visual Control = 
var val = MOD(MAX('Table'[Index]),12)
return
SWITCH(
    val,
    1,"salmon",
    2,"red",
    3,"blue",
    4,"green",
    5,"grey",
    6,"pink",
    7,"purple",
    8,"deeppink",
    9,"orange",
    10,"gold",
    11,"yellow",
    0,"skyblue"
)

Finally, you must set 'fx' for the default color of the visual.
