Conditional Formatting on Stacked Column Chart

Hello!

 

I have a stacked column chart with two measures in Y-Axis, similar to this.

I was wondering if there was any way to configure conditional formatting for the column colors? 

 

I see the option when I have only a single measure in the Y-Axis.

Hi @ssrinath 

The Power BI interface doesn't allow conditional formatting to be set when multiple measures are added to a stacked column chart. However, if you're willing to use this "hack", you could define conditional formatting for each measure by editing the appropriate visual.json file with the PBIP format:

I just tested myself with conditional formatting defined based on a measure and it worked.

Rule/Gradient-based formatting may also be possible but I haven't tested.
