Helper IIIConditional colour formatting on legend in a visual
Hi all,
I have a clustered bar chart visual which tracks inspections for products.
To this visual I have added a legend which shows if the inspection is a 'pass' or a 'fail'.
How can I set the colors for the legend, so that if the inpsection is a 'pass', the bar color will be green, and for a 'fail' - red?
When I go to 'Format your visual' --> 'Bars', I see only 'All' in the 'Categories' drop down. I have set the colour to be green,
however, as soon as I add the legend, the colour of the visual changes to red.
If I remove the legend, then I can choose any color for the bar.
I have tested the visual with dummy data, where I have more than one record in the table, and when this is the case I can set the bar colors when I go to 'Format your visual' --> 'Bars'.
So, to me it seems that this strange behaviour is related to the fact that there is only 1 row of data in my current table I am using for this visual.
Thanks,
Maria
Hi all,
at the end none of the proposed solutions worked and I couldn't find a fix.
The workaround I found was to copy a colour formatted donut chart, then changed the visual type

mtomova Once you add the legend, you need to go back and set your column colors again.
mtomovaHi, it doesn't work. I have tried that and changed different colors, but the red remains..
Thanks,

Hi mtomova ,
Based on the testing, try to select pass and fail separately and set the colors individually.
The result is shown below.
