Help with Conditional formatting DAX

Hi All, 

I hope I have the correct section of the forum, I have a DAX formula see below:

 

CF = VAR _today = TODAY() RETURN SWITCH( TRUE(), SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Expiry_Date]) <_today, "#FEB99C", SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Expiry_Date]) < _today + 30, "#FFED93", "#CDFA93")
 
essentially colours data in matrix based on expiry date, the issue I have is the <_today is colouring the boxes where there is a null value. I would rather these boxes be left blank, any help / pointers greatly appreciated

    Can you ISBLANK function for identifying the blank.. Your modifed DAX code should be below

    CF =
    VAR _today = TODAY()
    VAR _expiryDate = SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Expiry_Date])
    RETURN
        SWITCH(
            TRUE(),
            ISBLANK(_expiryDate), BLANK(),
            _expiryDate < _today, "#FEB99C",
            _expiryDate < _today + 30, "#FFED93",
            "#CDFA93"
        )

    check if it is working or not.. If it is not working.. then suggesting to provide some dummy data and desired result to try from out end..

     

    Hope it will help.
