    Hi  kevbrown1980 ,

    I created some data:

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. Create measure.

    Color =
var _current=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[MOM Fruit]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),MONTH('Table'[Date])=MONTH(MAX('Table'[Date]))))
var _last=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[MOM Fruit]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),MONTH('Table'[Date])=MONTH(MAX('Table'[Date])-1)))
var _if=
IF(
    _last=BLANK(),_current,_last)
var _su=
_current - _if
return
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    _su=0,"blue",
    _su>0,"red",
    _su<0,"green")

    2. Click Visual - Format - Data colors -- fx

    3. Enter the Default color interface.

    Format style – Field value

    What field should we base this on – [color]

    4. Result:

     

    Best Regards,

    Liu Yang

kevbrown1980 , create a measure like this example and use it conditional formatting using field value option

 

Colour =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
max('Table'[Month]) = "Feb", "red",
max('Table'[Month]) = "Mar", "Green",

max('Table'[Month]) = "Apr", "Green",

max('Table'[Month]) = "May", "Red",
//keep on adding
"green")

 

How to do conditional formatting by measure and apply it on pie?: https://youtu.be/RqBb5eBf_I4
