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...

    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.

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.

Can I use Details AND Color Saturation at the same time?  Or do I have to choose one vs the other?

 

thanks!

      Hi ,

      Treemap is not allowing me put any field under color saturation option.

      And also is there any option to define the color in the treemap like if value is 0-20 red , 20-40 yellow, 40-60 light green and so on.

      Basically coloring the boxes based on the range specified

      Thanks

        Hi DivyaP,

        With treemaps you have to choose either Details or Color saturation.  As of today, you cannot use both.  If you already have a field in the Details well, you won't be able to add a field to Color saturation too.

         

        For your other question about defining color ranges, that is not yet possible either.  The closest you can come to that would be to use Color saturation and then in the Formatting tab > Data colors.  There you can set a single color/saturation range, with min, middle, max colors selected or set min and max to specific values.

         

         

        HTH,

        Michele
