How to Change Legend Labels

I have created this visualization based on information in an imported excel data files. I would like the legend labels to display as Green Amber and Red instead of 10, 20, 30. How can I do that? I feel that this can be done through the relationship function but have no idea what needs to be done. Information is being pulled from the Overall Status column.

Hi @Jhadur - you can display the legend with colors by creating a calculated column as below:

StatusLabel = SWITCH(
    [Overall status],
    10, "Green",
    20, "Amber",
    30, "Red",
    "Unknown"
)
 
 
use the status label in legend , it should display the colors instead of numbers. 

 

Hope it works , please check
