How do we use treemap color saturation?

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the 'Color Saturation' setting for a Treemap with current PowerBI Desktop, but when I drag a field to the "Drag Data Fields Here" box the yellow border lights up momentarily but my data field is not displayed in that area and the color saturation is not affected.  Are there specific requirements for the kind of data field that can be used to control color saturation?

 

thanks!

    Hi mbherbener,

     

    We are not able to use Details and Color Saturation at the same time in a Treemap visual. We can only put fields in Details or Color Saturation separately each time.

    I believe that field has to be Numeric, at least that is what works for me. That being said, if you drag a Text field to it, it should switch it to "Count of Column". What kind of field are you using?

      I've tried numeric - whole number and decimal.

       

      do you know if it has to be in a certain range - 0 - 1 or 1 - 100 or something?  Are there other limits on when/how you can use it?

       

      thanks!

        Hi mbherbener,

         

        In your scenario, please place fields for Group, Values and Color Saturation properties. Then rectangles' color will display as the same color but in different color saturation. See:

         

         

        If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
