Controlling colours of Graphs in Power BI

I have a Cluster graph and I want to use colours matching exteranl reports.

So Far I created a Table, in which I'm able to conditional format the backround colour (using a measure) with the relevant colour

I created a basic Bar chart and I can change the colour if the Legend Text  and data lables but Can't change the colour of the bar to match, how do I apply conditional formatting the the actual bars? Once I crack this I move on to cluster charts.

Hi @Garbo62 

Conditional formatting isn't currently supported when legends are used. Try removing the legends, and you should be able to apply conditional formatting to the columns.

Hi @Garbo62 ,
is this what you are looking for? To change the colors of the bars dynamically?
