Hi,
I have a stacked bar chart with pre defined colors and i would like to control the color of one category with conditional formatting.
For example, in the following example, I want the Done to stay green but the To Do will be defined by conditional formatting.
When I go to the Format Visual pane -> Bars, I don't have the option to do formatting if I have more than one category (i.e. color):
I was expecting to see the 'fx' button next to each category as I think was the case in older versions.
I have the latest Desktop Power BI from May 2022, Version: 2.105.664.0 64-bit
Do you know if it is possible to mix fixed colors with conditional formatting ones.
Thanks,
Yaron

@yaronklein , You can not use FX(conditional formatting), when you have two measure or when you use legend .

Hi @yaronklein ,
Yes, it's only supported when there's no legend.

Thanks @amitchandak, does it mean that with conditional foramting you can only format the entire bar and it is not possible to format 2 or more using FX?
