Coloring coding in a measure for Map

hi Anonymous ,

ArcGIS Maps in Power BI don’t support dynamic or DAX-based coloring (like mapping a measure to HEX codes or names). The only way you can set colors in this visual is by assigning a category (like “Good”/“Bad” or “Active”/“Inactive”) and then manually picking the color for each category in the visual’s Symbology (paint roller) settings.

How to make it work:

1. Create a new column or measure that labels each data point by your rule, for example: If [KPI_switch_Dist] = 1, label as “Good”. If [KPI_switch_Dist] = 0, label as “Bad”
   
   

2. Add this field to the Category well in the ArcGIS visual.
   
   

3. Go to the paint roller (Symbology) options in the ArcGIS visual and assign your desired colors for “Good” and “Bad.”
   
   

If truly dynamic coloring is a must, consider using the standard Power BI Map or Shape Map visual instead—those do support “Data colors” that you can tie directly to your DAX logic. Red and green is a tricky combo for color-blind users consider blue/orange or blue/purple as an alternative if accessibility is a concern.
