Power BI Conditional Formatting based on date

Hi everyone

 

Hoping to get some help with conditional formatting. I have a Table with 12 columns for different milestone dates. I would like to conditionally format these to show a yellow background when the upcoming milestone date is within the next 3 months. This sort of conditional formatting is quite simple in Excel so I'm thinking i must be missing something here as I can't seem to find an option for conditionally formatting based on dates.

 

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can create a calculated column and then use this calculated column as the conditional format for the date field based on it.

Column = DATEDIFF(TODAY(),test[MilestoneDate],DAY)
