[Noob] PowerBI Gantt Chartt - Legend don't discriminate by color

[LucileD]

i All,

I'm testing the Microsoft Gantt chart for Power BI, following Visual Awesomeness Unlocked – Gantt chart | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI and Building a Gantt Chart using Power BI (microsoft.com). Still mostly at the test with mainly data from 2nd article. Feel simple... but there is one thing that I cannot do/have and it baffle me : when I put the team name in the legend, legend stay with only one color (and no name linked). Filter for same field show different team name. 

Note that I tested the second visual from the video, the donut, and there the legend is correctly displayed and color are discriminated. 

any idea what noob error I'm doing ?

well, as far as I see, I have the same issue than the OP, and as far as I see there is no response in this thread after OP response. As OP, I do not see any legend difference, so I cannot paint them differently as the helper was suggesting ...

oh sorry, I see that it appeared finally for him (but he don't know how 😕

I have also read that you must define Duration and Task to make colours work. They cannot be empty, but I have checked you have done it yet. Maybe you can contact Microsoft Power BI Custom Visuals support: pbicvsupport@microsoft.com

Hi @LucileD 

Take a look at this thread, it may help: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Change-Legend-colors-in-Gantt-Chart/m-p/815200

Oh, I was writing an email to the Custom Visual Team, when I saw this post : Gantt chart legend color - Microsoft Fabric Community. 

I confirm it's the same thing, and the workaround of making a copy of the column to use as a legend worked. 

@v-evelk could I ask if this issue is still in the backlog ? I'm surprised as original post was from 2019

Maybe you should write the email to check if the problem still continues...

4 years without solving seems too much, isn't it?

Has anyone got this error ? any more idea on why it could act like this ?
