Legend as a stand-alone visual?

Hello,

 

I'm creating a rather unique Power BI dashboard with several charts and graphs. I require a legend, and this legend will have 28 values in it, with the possibility that more may be added in the future.

 

Rather than having each visual include the legend of 28+ items, I want a stand-alone legend that essentially is its own visual. This would allow me to have one legend that can be used across the other charts and graphs on the page. 

 

Is this possible?

You could use a table visual, but would have to create a measure to colour code all the visuals using condional formatting

Hi @rpredmore ,

 

Do you want to display the legend like this?

If yes, you can try the Treemap.

Put the legend in Group and Values. Then close the Title.

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

@rpredmore ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

Appreciate your Kudos.

This is a quick mockup showing what I would like the end result to be:

I want the legend to be it's own "visual" as shown in the example, and not attached to another chart.

Thanks! This is my fall back plan. A table would "do the job," but I don't love the aesthetic of it 🙂
