I'm using a line and column chart where the column colors are on a gradient from dark to light grey. But I'm unable to change the legend settings to represent this. This makes the chart look really unprofessinal. Please help. Using latest version of PowerBI.

Hi @pborah
Unfortunately, we don't have an option to customize the legend and it is generated according to category level only.
There is an idea about this please vote for it (i voted) 🙂

To get the graph with the correct legend you can use POWER POINT.
1. generate the legend and save it as a picture
2. import it to your report to the legend place
3. Group it with the graph
Result:
Pbix is attached

Thank you. I'm beginning to think this should qualify as a bug not a product feature update. Because not displaying the legend correctly as per chart settings is a type of error/mistake. Depending on who is using it, this could be a crucial bug.
