How to change individual colours of small multiples?

Hey there, 

 

is there a way to choose a line colour for each small multiples? It seems like it's only possible to change the x-axis colours (i.e. in this case it's the individual years)

Hi, just tested it with bar chart.

Based on the picture you supplied, I assume the variable name for "small multiples" is "Country".

1. Create a measure based on "Country", ensure you can distinguish the results (numeric) based on the variable levels.

2. Format visual | Bars | Colors | Contditional formating

3. you know the rest:)

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Based on my test about Small Multiple Line Chart  and Small Multiple Line Chart by Akvelon , there is no option to choose a line colour for each small multiples. I'd like to suggest your contact the author for further help.

 

Best Regards

Allan

If you can't do this with the native visual and you really need it, it could be made with Charticulator.

Have you tried changing the color under Data Colors?

I obviously have, it just seems like it can only adjust years as I mentioned in the original post.
