Bar Chart with Time Slicer - Colors Issue

Hi,

 

I have a Clustered Bar Chart with the following settings:

 

Axis:

Method

Name

 

Legend:

Fiscal Year

 

Value:

Amount

 

And I designated a color for each Fiscal Year legend.

 

It shows the values and color correctly, but then I added a Time Slicer to my report, the one that come from the regular Slicer, which was recently upgraded.

 

When in the slicer I pick the dates of ranges that fall only in the second fiscal year, I get the correct values in the chart, but I still get the two colors mixed in the bars, it actually shows more bars with the "last year color" even though the value is this year's. The tooltip shows fine, the value, the "in detail records", everything except the color.

 

If I pick the first year dates, the color shows correctly, but if I pick the second year dates, the colors get mixed.

 

With values from 2 fiscal yearsWith values from 2 fiscal yearsWith values only from 2nd fiscal yearWith values only from 2nd fiscal year

 

I will greatly appreciate any hints to solve this.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Have a great day!

I think I fixed it...I reverted the legend settings to the original, then set up the colors again and voila, it got fixed...I guess it's just a glitch.

 

But thanks for the willingness to help!

Can you provide the data used for this chart without any filtering? and also provide the formula used for Amount, and a screenshot of the color setting.
