The color scales stopped working today. I didn't make any changes or updates, but today's data displayed as a solid color and when I tried to go in and update the color scale, nothing worked. Everything is displaying as the Minimum value now. Assuming there's a bug with the new color scale functionality.

Hi js_ultimusAnonymous,
I have tested in Power BI desktop November version but not able to reproduce the issue. Please test with our report on your side to see if the same issue occurs.

I will try your file when I get to work tomorrow. In the meantime, could you try switching your visualization to a column chart? Mine is a column chart and it is showing a single color even when color scale is selected in Data Colors. It was showing proper color scale prior to installing the November 2018 update.

Hello js_ultimus,
We are so sorry for your experience. We need more information to be able to identify the issue.
* Is it possible to share the pbix file with us?
* Can you please make a copy of your visual, convert it to a Table, and add the measure used in the Conditional Formatting (Todays_calls). I need to make sure the measure is evaluated as expected.
I think I found a solution. The color scale seems to work when I switch to a Clustered Bar/Column chart as opposed to the original Stacked Bar/Column chart.
Hi @js_ultimus,
For me, it worked after I removed the item I have in the TOOLTIP field well.

Hi v-qiuyu-msft,
The behavior is the same with the report you sent. Color scale stopped working after I dragged a field in the Tooltips field well.

Hi @js_ultimus,
Could you please try dragging a field to the Tooltips field well and see if the color scale still works? It initially worked for me after switching to stacked bar but I think it was because the item in the Tooltips field well was automatically removed by the visualization switch. When I added it back, color scale stopped working again.
Best Regards,
Ferdinand
Same result for me - if I have something in the Tooltips the color scale stops working. Seems like that's the issue.
