    Hi rkumar,

     

    Currently, Power BI doesn’t support conditional format between multiple columns and only support format number. Please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-conditional-table-formatting. Here is a similar idea shared on Power BI Ideas forum. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature. :smileyhappy:

     

    As a workaround you can firstly create a calculate column using the formula below:

    IS_Column1_Match_Column2 = IF([Column1] = [Column2], 1, 0)

    Then you can use conditional formatting to set the color of the calculate column.

    Regards
