Conditionally format YEARLY MAX and MIN values in line chart / column chart

Hello everyone, 

 

Please help to write a measure that calculates yearly MAX and yearly MIN values so that I can use this measure to conditionally format points on the line chart or columns on the bar chart. Here is a simple example done in Excel. I want to achieve the same result in Power BI.

@Anonymous , Create a bar visual and use a measure like give below in data color (advance option) with field value option (conditional formatting)

 

measure =
var _min = minx(values(Date[Date]),[Value])
var _max = minx(values(Date[Date]),[Value])
return
Switch(true() ,
[Value] = _min , "red",
[Value] = _max , "green",
"blue"
)

 

And then convert to like with marker.

@amitchandak , unfortunately, it still shows the same result. Looks like this measure does not go beyond MIN. Any other ideas? Thank you for help.

Hello to whoever is looking through this thread. 

So far, I have only managed to highlight MIN and MAX for ENTIRE range of dates, however, this is not what I need. I still hope someone helps me out to write a measure to highlight yearly/annual MAX and MIN value.
