Measure to display date in different colors based on specific rules.

I'm trying to create a measure which will display last refreshed date of Power BI dataset in different colors, with the following criteria:

  • Green, if last refreshed date = Today
  • Yellow, if last refreshed date = Today - 1 (Yesterday)
  • Red, if last refreshed date is before that

I've created the following measure:

 

LastRefresh =
VAR RefreshDate = MAX(LastRefreshed[LastRefreshedDate])
VAR TodayDate = MAX(LastRefreshed[Today])

RETURN
IF(
RefreshDate = TodayDate, "#00FF00",
IF(
RefreshDate = TodayDate - 1, "#FFFF00", "#FF0000"))
 
The table has only two fields:

This is the result I'm getting:

umershamshad_0-1660201966473.png

 

I want to display the date in  specific color instead of RGB code. Can someone help me?

@Anonymous , Use the measure last refresh in the table and color measure in conditional formatting using the field value option.
