Apply default colour to multiple line chart

[ana-pierola]

Hello,

I'm trying to apply a default colour to a multiple line chart and highlight the first categories in the data (fixed). This is what I need to get:

But I have only been able to apply colours individually to each line on Power BI

This will not work because (1) the number of lines is high and (2) the number of lines may change when the data source is updated.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

@ana-pierola Have you investigated custom themes?

Hi @Greg_Deckler 

Thanks! Indeed, themes worked.

I'll copy the lines I added to the json file, in case this is useful for somebody else

{

"name": "Theme name",

...

"visualStyles": {

...

"lineChart": {

"*": {

"dataPoint": [{

"defaultColor": { "solid": { "color": "#F0F0F0"}}

}]

}

},

...

},

...

}

A lot more options are given here:

@ana-pierola Awesome. I should have also posted my blog article on theme generators for you:
