Color formatting in visio visual

I got a diagram in Visio. A diagram is the sketch of the building. I am using Visio visual to display three types of information (i.e. no of events, $ loss in event, probability of event happening again) on the diagram. Each type of information is encoded in a measure. I created a slicer that is used to select the measure (or type of information) to display on the Visio visual.  

 

I am having issues with color formatting. Because each type of information has different range of values. For example, no of events is a whole number which can got in hundreds whereas $loss in events range goes up to ten of thousands. Similarly, the value of probability of the event happening is between 0 and 1. 

 

Is there any way of setting up the color formatting of Visio visual according to the type of selected measure?

@Anonymous , I don't see any option in the visual to use the measure to do color formatting. I have attached a snapshot of the visual.

Hi @Dunner2020,

Did you work with the custom visuals? AFAIK, color formatting not works for custom visuals. If you require this feature, please contact the visual author to add these processes.

You can take a look at the following link to know more about these features:

Hi @Dunner2020,

In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you use measure expression to color formatting. Then you can set the switch function to interact with slicers selection and return to different colors or expressions.
