Creating a striped bar chart
- 3 years ago
There will be some learning curve, but pattern fills are possible with the Deneb custom visual (which leverages Vega-Lite). You could create a measure that returns 0 or 1 depending on your criterion, and then conditionally set the pattern to striped or solid.

Hi PWRBI_USER1 - for Vega-Lite, conditions are only possible to use in encoding channels, and not mark properties.
If you want to do this in the mark property, then the fill property can use an ExprRef. This uses the Vega expression language, which is detailed here.
It's not entirely clear from your example what the condition is, or the name of the fields in your dataset, so I'll use a simple bar chart, where I will fill the bar based on my Country field: if it matches 'Australia', I'll apply the pattern fill, otherwise I'll colour the bar black.
{ ... "mark": { "type": "bar", "stroke": "black", "fill": { "expr": "if(datum['Country'] == 'Australia', 'url(#diagonal-stripe-1)', 'black')" } }, ... }Regards,

Hello Daniel dm-p ,
Thank you for the guidance. I would like to check whether we can do striped sections in the pie charts. I tried the same but did not get a luck.
