Foglio1 is the table [data] is the field of the calendar date.
in italian DATA is DATE.

Replace the refer of the date to the new field of the new table like this:

Max Data =
CALCULATE(
    MAX(Table1[Startofmonth])
    ,ALL(Table1)
)
--------
Color =
IF(MAX(Table1[Startofmonth]) = [Max Data]"#000000""#FFFFFF00")

Yes in ALL and ALLSELECTED formula there is the solution if you have a date table with futures dates.

My fault, I missing double quotes and i use white instead of transparent.
Here is correct with two measure:

-----
Max Data =
CALCULATE(
    MAX(Foglio1[Data])
    ,ALL(Foglio1)
)
--------
Color =
IF(MAX(Foglio1[Data]) = [Max Data], "#000000", "#FFFFFF00")
Then pass Color to conditional formatting.
Here the pbix link

Hi Lucadelico,

Sorry to bother you again.. do you mind expanding the data table so I can see what column you are referring to in your dax please? I got a bit confused by foglio1[data]

Try to use the conditional formatting passing a measure that returns the color with the condition in wich date it will be.
MEASURE =
var _maxdate =
CALCULATE(
MAX(Sales[date])
,ALL(Sales)
)
RETURN
IF(_maxdate < MAX(Sales[date]), #FFFFFF, #000000)
I use white and black.
White i think is the color of your background.

I hope I have been helpful.
It's more easier to help you if you upload your pbix.

Hi Lucadelicio,

 

I tried to reply to your PM but the system said I reached the maximum number of pm so I couldn't send it.

 

I have a follow up question. 

I've got two tables, one transaction table and one calendar table. See below.

I created relationship by linking 'calendar date' with 'Date'. I want to use 'start of month' in X-axis in the line chart. In this case, how should I modify the dax you created?

 

Table 1 is the calendar table (I didn't write out all dates)

Calendar datestart of month
5/1/20225/1/2022
5/2/20225/1/2022
5/3/20225/1/2022
6/1/20226/1/2022
6/2/20226/1/2022

 

Table 2 shows transactions

DateABCDE
5/1/20223721 21
5/2/2022$5$9$10$45$50
5/3/2022$15$12$18$34$35
6/1/2022$20$16$22$28$34
6/2/2022$12$30$25$45$60

Replace the refer of the date to the new field of the new table like this:

Max Data =
CALCULATE(
    MAX(Table1[Startofmonth])
    ,ALL(Table1)
)
--------
Color =
IF(MAX(Table1[Startofmonth]) = [Max Data]"#000000""#FFFFFF00")

Hi Lucadelicio,
Sorry for the delayed reply. I took some time to try the Dax you sent me. I twisted it a little bit and it worked!!! Instead of using ALL, I used ALLSELECTED. I also watched a youtube video from Curbal (Title of the video: DAX Fridays! #184:Show last label only on a line chart in Power BI) and got some inspiration from there in combination of your dax 🙂
 
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me! I had been stucked with this issue for over 3 weeks and finally solved it! :') I really appreciate your patience in explaining all this to me and your help on this means a lot to me!!! Graize mille!!

If I use  MAX(Table1[Startofmonth]), it will be december 1st because my calendar table goes up to december. However, my transaction table only has data from most current month. 

Send me in email the fake pbix that rappresent your situation and I will fix tou

Luca D'Elicio

Hi Lucadelicio, Thanks for your help. I tried your dax in power bi but it didn't work. There are red lines on and after the word 'Return'. Do you know where I did wrong? (I copied your dax and replaced the fields with the field in my tables)

can you share the pbix. It's easier to help you.

Luca D'Elicio

I'm sorry I can't share it due to company privacy policy

share me a excel seample fake data.
So i can try on your dataset.

Luca D'Elicio

The table shows the data used for creating the first chart in my original post
