Bar Chart - is there a way to configure different colors for each bar in a Bar Chart?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Rnaval ,
Do you want each bar on the X-axis to display a different color? If I understand correctly, you can do so.
Set the "Color-Categories" of the bar based on the X-axis text value. In my testing, I'm making the bars in the "#4460" category show up as blue and the bars in the "#4461"category show up as orange.
Best regards,
Mengmeng Li

Thank you
I think you can drop the field in the Legend field well instead of the Y axis, and Power BI will read those legend values. Then in the Format for the Visual, under Bars, "Apply Setting to" you will see all your members.
