Dynamic Color for Multi-Bar Bar Chart

Hi all,

 

I have a use case where I have 2 different categories for each x axis value in a bar chart:

Is there a way to keep different color combination for Bangaluru and a different one for Chennai.

 

Is it possible to do it

Hi @yashwant101 ,

I agree with what @Uzi2019 said!
But I can give you a workaround.
Here is my sample data:

Then I use these DAXs to create two measures:

Bangaluru = SUMX(FILTER('Table', LEFT('Table'[Name], 9) = "Bangaluru"), 'Table'[Value])
Chennai = SUMX(FILTER('Table', LEFT('Table'[Name], 7) = "Chennai"), 'Table'[Value])

Then create the Clustered Column Chart:

Hi @yashwant101 

Unfortunetly , No . you cant change the color of Bangaluru and Chennai.
