Can anyone recommend a visualization that would allow display of a single colored block per row of data? I'm attempting to replace an HTML report that shows a breakdown of work, colored and sorted by priority. I'm using the treemap control currently (with a single data point per block, thus making them all equal sized). This is showing me colored blocks, but I am unable to sort the blocks by the priority on the datarow and don't need the ability to change the size of the blocks. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi @davidrosas,
Based on my research, TreeMap and custom visual Sunburst are nearest to the requirement that displays a single colored block per row of data. But the limitation is it doesn't allow us to sort data.
A workaround to achieve sorting by priority, you can Pie chart or Donut chart visual.

Can you post an image of your current report? Perhaps a bubble chart with priority as one of the axis?
Thanks for the follow-up. Hope these screenshots help. I haven't played much with the bubble chart, I'll check it out.
