Date Range Conditional Formatting

Hi,

 

I want to compare the current date with the date stored in a column and f.e. color the background within a table accordingly.

Date already passed (in the past)-> red background

Date within 7 day range (future)-> background yellow

Date further away than 7 days -> background green

 

How can I do this with dates?

@Anonymous add following measure for color and then you can use it for conditional formatting, tweak it as per your need

 

KPI Color = 
VAR __numberofDays = DATEDIFF ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), TODAY(), DAY )
RETURN 
SWITCH( TRUE(),
    __numberofDays > 0, "Red", --past
    __numberofDays > -7, "Green", --in future away than 7 days
   
    "Yellow"  
)

@parry2k How do I use it for conditional formatting? It doesn't allow me to use the measure as the "based on field" when doing background color conditional formatting
