How to highlight Maximum and Minimum Column Chart Bar in Power BI?

I have created Column chart in POWER BI. All the bars in the column chart are with same color. Now I need that Maximum Bar should have fill color of GREEN and Minimum bar fill color in RED and the remaining in any one color. How to do that?

You can do it with the help of color saturation property of column chart

Please see the attached file

I defined a simple MEASURE and put it in the Color Saturation Field

 

 

Measure =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SUM ( Table1[Values] )
        = CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[Values] ), ALLSELECTED ( Table1[Category] ) ), 1,
    SUM ( Table1[Values] )
        = CALCULATE ( MIN ( Table1[Values] ), ALLSELECTED ( Table1[Category] ) ), 2,
    0
)
