Highlight Current Hour in column chart

Hi, Please can somebody help?

 

I have a stacked barchart visual on a report which displays the number of vehicles required each hour of each day.

Is there a way to highlight the bar for the current hour for today?

 

Any assistance appreciated.

    Hi msommerf ,

     

    You need to create a new measure.

    Measure =
VAR a =
    HOUR ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'testTable'[date] ) )
VAR b =
    HOUR ( NOW () )
RETURN
    IF ( a = b, "#ff6600" )

     

    Then make a color rule with this measure.


     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You can get the result.

      Many thanks for your response,

      This works perfectly for a standard barchart but does not work with a stacked barchart with legend data.

      There is no FX option to format the colour(s)

       

      Regards

      Mark.

        Hi msommerf ,

         

        Move your mouse pointer over the default color and right click on it, there will be an option to display.

        Click it and you can define the color rules as my previous reply.
