Bullet Graph formatting question - how to retain color changes from Power BI desktop to PowerBI.com

First time poster, long time reader... 

 

I am using bullet graphs with PowerBI for my sales team, posting their MTD and QTD results comparing to targets. I have to change the red / green default color scheme to a more suitable color pallate, but need to do that every time I post from Power BI desktop to PBI.com. 

 

Any way to have the formatting retain?

  • bsewell It looks like a bug in Bullet Chart. It does not retain the Colors in both Power BI Desktop and Service. Even in the desktop if you save the file, close it and reopen it the colors go back to default. As bullet chart is custom visual so we can expect few bugs in there. I think it is best to contact the author and register this bug.
