Conditional formatting color change if value goes down

[Fragan]

Hey,

I have this table :

 I want to make a conditional formatting on value like this :

• In month number "N" if it goes up according to month number "N-1" make the text green
• In month number "N" if it goes down according to month number "N-1" make the text red

Is there any way to do this with conditional formatting?

@Fragan , You can use time intelligence and date table for This Month Vs last month

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last MTD (complete) Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))))

Use color grouping on Diff

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-conditional-table-formatting#color-by-color-values

Or create a color measure and use it with "Field" option in color grouping

Color sales = if([Sales MTD] -[sales LMTD]>0,"green","red")
