Hi abc i'll be happy to help you. Can you post the pbix?

You have to create a measure to use in the conditional formatting settings.
Using the dax function Switch you have to scroll the Calendar[WeekDay] and return the color result that you want.
Try something like this:
ConditionalFormattingMeasure = SWITCH ( [WekDay], "Friday", "#FF2701", "Saturday", "#FF2701", "#000000")

    lucadelicio ,

     

    thanks for your reply so quick,

     

    I am trying to create a sample file if possible, as it takes time reasoning of the calendar table that i gave in my previous post takes long time to create and has company data in it.

     

    But i will try my best to create.

     

    In mean time i have created a calculative column  using 

    test week color = SWITCH ( [Day Of Week], "Friday", "#FF2701", "Saturday", "#FF2701", "#000000")
     

    then i go to font colour from Cell element menu

     

    please guid me what next

     

     

    thx

      You have to create MEASURE not calculated column.
      Then you can use in the conditional formatting.
      Try this.
