Conditional Formatting for Dates

[RavenJadeAK]

Hi, 

I have a table with a column of dates that I want to format based on when the date is. If the date is more than 2 weeks away I want it to be green, if it is is within 2 weeks of today I want it to be yellow, and if it is today or past today I want it to be red. It is a calculated column based on the date someone enrolled, and the entire table is a calculated table For instance the column that says 45 days - if the date is 12/15 I want it to be green, if the date is 11/9 I want it to be yellow, and if the date is 5/30 I want it to be red. Can someone help me do this?

Hi,

I usually create another column and fixed the color code in that, then use it in my visual for Conditional Formatting :

DateDiffColor = if (DATEDIFF(Sheet248[Date1], Sheet248[Date2], DAY) >= 14, "#6bec58",

                    if (DATEDIFF(Sheet248[Date1], Sheet248[Date2], DAY) < 15 &&

                            DATEDIFF(Sheet248[Date1], Sheet248[Date2], DAY) > 1,

                        "#Cfe008",

                        "#E60324"

                       )

                   )

Appreciate your Kudos and please mark it as a solution if it helps you

Hi @RavenJadeAK 

Download PBIX file with the example below 

Create a measure like this to determine the color for each date

CF = 

VAR _today = TODAY()

RETURN

SWITCH( TRUE(),

    SELECTEDVALUE('DataTable'[45 Days]) > _today + 14, "#0F0", 
    
    SELECTEDVALUE('DataTable'[45 Days]) > _today, "#FF0", 

    "#F00"
)

Then add a Conditional Formatting rule to the 45 days column and apply the CF rule just created

Here are the settings for the conditional formatting

Giving this
