Conditional Formatting for a date based on another date

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I need a way to highlight a date in a table based on it being before or after the first date. All the data comes from project.

Task finish date   task baseline date

18/01/2022           19/01/2022

So in this example, task finish date would be green. 

Thanks

@Anonymous ask your boss to give the requirement in one go, or hire som consultant/training for you 🙂

Color = 
VAR __finishDate = MAX ( Highlight[Finish Date] )
VAR __baseDate = MAX ( Highlight[Base Date] )
VAR __days =  DATEDIFF ( __finishDate, __baseDate, DAY )
RETURN

SWITCH ( TRUE(),

    __days > 60, "Green",
    __days > 0, "Orange",
    "Red"
)

@Anonymous add a measure:

Color = IF ( MAX ( Table[FinishDate] ) < MAX(Table[BaseDate]), "Green", "Red" )

Then on Finish Date column, go to conditional formatting, and set the formatting to field value and use above measure.

Thank you very much. Another quick question, my boss has asked for the following:

Within 60 calendar days = Amber

Greater than 60 days = Green

So is it possible to change the formula to reflect those. Essentially if the finish date is up to 60 days before the baseline date it's amber. If it's greater than 60 days it's green and if the finish date is after the baseline date it's red. So he's asked for some additional stuff.

Your help is apprieciated and thank you

@Anonymous what is the first date? Your example is not clear. are you saying if the finish date is before the baseline date then highlight it in green?

Yes sorry the task finish date is the first date. If it is before the baseline date make it green, if it's after make it red.

Thanks
