Colors for visuals not showing
Hi everyone
I am having a problem rendering my visual that uses Color Scale for the default colors.
As you can see here, some of the visuals are not colored. I am guessing this might be because on my color settings, the Center is colored white. The weird thing here is I specifically set the center to a custom value of 0.
The look I am trying to achieve is something like the one below, but I'm not sure why on my visual it's just setting the colors to white even though they are not the middle value.
Will appreciate any help or insights.
EDIT: Additional details.
If I filter specifically to a month, all the other visuals turns white.

Well i can only see 1 or 2 colours on your charts. I'm not sure what you expect to see in this situation. I suggest you filter your chart so it shows more than 2 data points with a visible bar
It's a color scale setting. With two colors, it should diverge into a lighter tone as the value goes nearer the center value that was set, something similar to this:
The issue I am actually a bit stucked is why even those with values are being set to white color, which is the color if the value is equal to the custom center value which is 0.
To your ask, you can see clearly see here now how the visuals are colored. The months is filtered for October.
But if I selected a month that has no data, for example December, both of them will turn white as well:
For more details, the measure being used here is defined like this:
VATAmountAllPeriods = CALCULATE([VAT Amount], ALL('Period'))- MattAllington
What are you expecting that measure to do? It will return the same value for all periods and not show any variation by month. And from what I can see, that is what it is doing - returning white for every period. If you are trying to show % of the period, you need something like this
Conditional Format periods = divide([VAT Amount],CALCULATE([VAT Amount], ALL('Period')))
