Bar Chart: Color code based on text

[carlol]

Color-code based on text

Unlike in Excel, you can't color-code text values to display as a particular color, such as "Accepted"=blue, "Declined"=red, "None"=grey. You create measures related to these values and apply formatting based on those instead.

For example, StatusColor = SWITCH('Table'[Status], "Accepted", "blue", "Declined", "red", "None", "grey")

Then in the Background color dialog box, you format the Status field based on the values in the StatusColor field.

Question

I have a bar chart , the user can choose worldwide and 1 other country 

I want the bar chart to display Color blue for worldwide & Green for the other randonly selected country  

As in Excel, you can color-code text values to display as a particular color, such as "Accepted"=blue, "Declined"=red,

Can I do this in powerBI , the only option I can see , is me going through every feasible selection combo and setting the colors manually but even if I did this combersome task , when published to PowerBi service it appers to loose all formatting

You can do this in the model , SQL Server .. whatever suits 

Under Data Colors in the clustered Chart I set the FX

Hi @carlol 

There is no direct way to conditionally format based on text in Power BI.
