Set slicer's color on a pie chart based on value

Hello,

 

I have a report with a pie chart on it. The legend on the pie chart change with a slicer. The thing is I would like to set colors for the slicers not based on the legend but on the value. For example, now I set the value as : red for Cars, blue for Plane, green for Train. And now I would like to set them as : red for the biggest value on the pie chart, blue for the second, green for the third...

Do you know how to do that ?

 

Thank you !

@Wael03 , Create a Rank Measure and then Try to create a measure like

 

Switch( True() ,

[Rank]=1, "Red",

[Rank]=2, "Blue",

[Rank]=3, "Green",

"Yellow"

)

 

Covert the pi to bar, Apply conditional formatting using bar color fx, Use field value option and choose this new measure

 

You can use Rank or Rankx for rank
