Default color plus conditional formatting on bar charts

[AlainDelhaise]

Hello,

I am having trouble with conditionally formatting columns in a bar chart while maintaining a default color.

In the below chart I set the default color to dark red and added a line of conditional formatting to format to a lighter shade of red if another measure for that month returned blank.

As you can see, it formats correctly and the legend shows a red dot for the data series. Here is the formatting page:

And this makes sense to me - I set the default color to dark red, then add formatting if a condition is met.

I created that a few months ago. However now, I am trying to add a new chart using the same format but when I attempt to apply the same formatting, it does not maintain the dark red color. (I copied and pasted the previous graph and re-did the formatting.) It resets the default color to blue, and does not remember the dark red.

At this point if I modify the formatting on the previous graphs I made a few months ago, I cannot get the original formatting back and have to quit without saving.

I have tried using a color measure:

ChartColor =

    IF (

        [XXXXXX] = BLANK(),

        "#BA7D7B",

        "#965755"

    )

But the legend is now incorrect.

Has something changed recently or am I doing something incorrectly?

@AlainDelhaise , I think when you line clustered bar, it does not change the legend based on conditional formatting. It does that for pie and for bar it does not show a legend.

Hello @amitchandak, I am not looking to change the legend based on conditional formatting, I understand that is not supported, but it appears as though somehow a few months ago I could set the default color for the bars and then add conditional formatting on top, and now I cannot.

See the first image I posted, it both has a correct legend color and conditional formatting on the bars.

@AlainDelhaise , I tried all three options(Gradient, rule, field), not able to get the first one. May be an issue in the new release. check and report an issue, if needed: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
