I have a line chart in my dashboard. On the line graph, each line represents one well. This is how I want the data to be segmented. However, I would like to not color each well individually, but to color the wells by operator (i.e. All wells by one operator are one color). Is there a way to tell Power BI to do this?
Hi @Anonymous ,
I don't quite understand what you want. Please give me a concrete example.

Line graph of production by well. (Each well is a different color). I want to instead to color by a variable I have called "Operator". So essentially I want to keep the well level data graphed, but I want all wells within 1 operator to be the same color. That way the user can visually see the differences in well performance by operator.
Hi @Anonymous ,
I create an example:
Operator | Well | Value | Date |
O1 | W1 | 1 | 1/1/2019 |
O1 | W1 | 2 | 2/1/2019 |
O1 | W1 | 3 | 3/1/2019 |
O1 | W2 | 5 | 1/1/2019 |
O1 | W2 | 4 | 2/1/2019 |
O1 | W2 | 6 | 3/1/2019 |
O1 | W3 | 3 | 1/1/2019 |
O1 | W3 | 4 | 2/1/2019 |
O1 | W3 | 5 | 3/1/2019 |
O2 | W4 | 6 | 1/1/2019 |
O2 | W4 | 3 | 2/1/2019 |
O2 | W4 | 5 | 3/1/2019 |
O2 | W5 | 7 | 1/1/2019 |
O2 | W5 | 9 | 2/1/2019 |
O2 | W5 | 5 | 3/1/2019 |
O2 | W6 | 4 | 1/1/2019 |
O2 | W6 | 6 | 2/1/2019 |
O2 | W6 | 2 | 3/1/2019 |
If I don't misunderstand, in this example, what you want to do is to divide the 6 lines into two groups by Operator and lines in each group has the same color. However, I'm afraid that Power BI doesn't support it now.
Maybe you can use Slicer to filter by operators.
And here is a similar idea and you can vote it.

Unfortunately I have a slicer on already, and that isn't sufficient. I want users to be able to select multiple operators and be able to visually compare the wells between them. I thought there was way to do this with conditional formatting in the newest version of Power BI, but this option appears to be missing.
