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.
