Hi,

Thanks for replies of lbendlin  and Uzi2019  , and i want to offer some more information for user to refer to.

hello @Yogi785 , based on your desciption, you can consider to use Treemap, it can set the color.

You can refer to the following sample.

Sample data

vxinruzhumsft_1-1734576618951.png

Then you can create  a measure to calculate the percentage of each color.

Percentage% = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Value]),SUMX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Value]))

Then crete a measue to format the color.

Format = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Color])

Then create a treemap visual, and put the following field to the visual.

Hello, thanks for replies. In fact I want to associate color with data and amount. This is my dataset : 

Yogi785_1-1734506834777.png

 

We sell colored goods and I want those colors to be represented in the graphic. The grey RAL7016 #293133 is the best selling.

Thanks

Hi @Yogi785 

 

You can manually set your pie chart color by using slicer setting option. 

 

Uzi2019_0-1734423152123.png

 

but you value itself is hexcolor value. it will not automatically map your hexvalue against hexcolor.

 

You have to do it manually.

 

I hope I answered your question!
