Solved! Go to Solution.
I hope below are your expectation.
Expected existing:
Expected Outcome:
To achieve this, you have to create a calculated column with the below code and use it in your visual.
Group =
IF ( Sales[Year] >= 2015 && Sales[Year] <= 2021, "A", "B" )
To change the colors. go to the visual format pane. Under the format pane choose columns and enable show all and change the color to grey for A and Blue for B.

Hi @Arul ,
Thanks for the solution.
Group =
IF ( Sales[Year] <= 2021 && sales[MonthNo]= Month(now()-1,
[measure1],[measure2] )
when I wrote this Calculated column, it says circular dependency was detected.
How do I avoid this?
Hi @Pallavi_m,
You can write a measure formula to compaore current year and the specific year range to return color code, then you can use it on data color conditional formatting.
