Does anyone know of a way to change the colour of data bars in a Matrix based on a field? Looks like you can only have one colour?
If so, is there an alternative approach anyone can suggest?
Thanks in advance!
For the data bars you get one color for positive and one for negative. If you want to have diverging colors on a scale, I would suggest using background color. You could actually do both.
You could likely also do something custom like discussed here: Creating custom visuals in Power BI with DAX - SQLBI
