new calculcation button - color format

Hi ianallen13D ,

Visual calculations are currently in preview, and during the preview period, you should be aware of the following considerations and limitations:
• You cannot use the See records drillthrough feature with visuals that use visual calculations or hidden fields.
• You cannot apply conditional formatting to visual calculations.
• You cannot set data categories in visual calculations.
• You cannot change the aggregation of visual calculations.
• You cannot change the sort order of visual calculations.

More details can be found in the document:
Using visual calculations in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

So this is a known limitation and not an unexpected behavior. You can try to write conditional formatting using calculated columns or measures.

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Best Regards,

Clara Gong
