Showing Consistent Colors on a Graph Legend
Hi, I have a bar graph which is showing values from a table, this graph has a date range which can be lowered/increased to show information over different timeframes. Standard stuff so far. Whe...
Yes, you can manually set the colors for each category in the legend of your Power BI bar graph. Here's how to do it:
- Click on the bar graph visualization to select it.
- In the Visualizations pane, click on the Format tab.
- Expand the "Data colors" section.
- By default, the colors will be set to "Automatic". To set your own colors, click on "Custom colors".
- In the "Custom colors" section, click on the dropdown arrow next to the category you want to set a color for.
- Choose "Specific color" and select the color you want to use for that category.
- Repeat this process for each category in the legend.
Once you have set the colors for each category, they will remain consistent regardless of the data being displayed.
Note: If you add new categories to your data, you will need to manually set the colors for those categories as well.
I have stacked car chart with only top 7 selection. I know how to change the colors, but that is only for the initial selection. When I change slicer, I get different colors. How do I keep the colors consistent?
