Column + line chart

Hello,

I have a chart with Columns (Month results) + lines (month goals).

Someone knows how to put a color conditional for de columns when its up or down the goal line? Like, green for values upper than goals, and red for down?

Problem solved!
Just for information, I created  2 new measures, conditioned (Productive good = IF([Productive3]>[Goal3];[Produtictive3];0) and (Productive bad = IF([Productive3]<[Goal3];[Produtictive3];0). 


Ps: Indicators MUST be in Measures with Sum function

 

Ex. [Productive3] = DIVIDE ([Production3];[Worked hours3];0)]

     [Production 3] = SUM (Plan1[Production]);

     [Worked hours3] = SUM (Plan1[Worked hours])

     [Goal3] = SUM (Plan1[Goal])

i have that same issue. I couldn't understand how did you solve that. Could you please share pbix if you have ? or tell again ?
Thanks.

I just created 2 new measures. The first is for the results bigger than goal, and the second is for results smaller than goal.

So, instead of plot the result measure, plot the 2 new measures and the goal, and define a color for each measures (in my case, green for good and red for bad).

Thank you so much. i got it ! 

I did it and it works but it shows like this:

 

 

How can I make the chart show only a single bar, the one with actual values?

Hello Lucas,

probably is the type of chart that you choose.

Look like you selected Line and clustered column chart, when I choose Line and Stacked Column chart.

 

Thank you! You were right!

@HENRIQSI

First thing is , is your goal line fixed..?

 If yes, use the same column Productive... and put it in the colorSaturation field and go to data color section. Select the diverging option and put the center value as you goal line value.

 

Hope this solves your problem.

Unfortunately my goal line isn't fixed...

And in the Column + line chart option there is no ColorSaturation option =/

Hello,

 

Well I have a Collum (month values) + Line (month goals) chart.

Someone knows how to put a conditional to change the collor of the columns of my chart, if it up (green) or down (red) the line?

Thx.
