Create colour palette

Hi there,   is it already possible to create a colour palette, e.g. from which the pie chart can take their colours? I would like to use exclusively our brand colours.   Thanks! Nadine

Hi erikajclemens,

 

thank you for your reply!

 

I already used this opportunity, but it's not a satisfying solution for me, because I have some pie charts with values between 1 and 6000. PowerBI wants me to assign each value one of my colours and that would take too much time. It would be nice to have a solution, where you can upload a colour palette and all charts use exclusively these colours.

 

Thanks,

Nadine

I understand your challenge now. :) One option you might consider is using a different chart type. Pie charts with a lot of slices are sometimes difficult for users to gain insights. You could use a bar chart and the option to show the percentage of grand total on the tool tip. I know that doesn't take care of your color palette issue, just noting that when I have challenges with a dashboard I will troubleshoot by evaluating the way the data has been organized within the data model first and then by looking at my visualization options.
