Changing bar colour based on a Bar graph

[Anonymous]

Hi!

Is it possinle to chnage the colour of the bars in a bar chart based on a condition where keep all the bars for example blue if its before current month and red if its after current months. Say I have a chart with dates in x axis and sales amount on the y axis an I want to show all the sales until June in Blue bars and and July on wards in Red , is it possible yo do so?

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous , 

As I know, if you want to use conditional  formatting on bar color, you can't  add field in Legend. You could refer to my sample for details.

Great , can we do this same for clustured bar chart with multiple bars on it, because that is the problem I am facing now, I dont see the option for formating color when I have 2 bars(2 columns on Column value section)?

Hi,

Step 1 : Create a measure with DAX as below:

Current Month = MONTH(TODAY())

Step 2 : Create a column for finding month from the date your have:

Month of shipdate = MONTH(Orders[Ship Date].[Date])

Step3 : Create another measure with DAX as below:

Previous Or Future = IF(Orders[Month of shipdate]<[Current Month],"Previous","Future")

Drop this "Previous Or Future" to Legends of your Bar chart.

Step 3 it does not allow me to make the meassure with that option.

Sorry not step 3 , thats fine, but the issue is cannot add it to the legend.

Sorry, Its suppose to be a New Column and not New Measure as this is categorical in nature.

Hope this solves your issue.

I created both meassure and cloum but the issue is I am unable to add it to the legend on my clustered bar chart.
