Arc GIS maps for Power Bi - map point colour by category

[GlassShark1]

I've got Red, Green and Amber categories for map points that i'm trying to have coloured in the same way on the map. I can't seem to get this to work though. When i set the map to Size and Colour and drag the field into 'Colour', it treats this as a numeric field, and suggests a colour ramp for it (i'm presuming it's doing a count of 'Green' etc). I just want to set the text value 'Green' to a green colour.

Any help? Driving me crazy...

Hi, @GlassShark1 

The field dragged into 'Colour' shoud be "Category".

And then you can  set  color you want  for each category  in  "Symbol color" .

Please check my pbix file for more details.

If I misunderstand, please let me know.

Thanks - i'll mark this as the solution as it's confirmed i'm doing it the right way. It hasn't solved my problem though, as when i put on a slicer for a category it still shows point for all 3 colours. I'm working with dummy data though (with duplicates), so i'm guessing the problem is with the data - likely showing a record as being both one category and another, so it is just showing each in turn when i apply a filter. Thanks again - at least i can see i've approached it the right way 🙂
