Specifying colors in bar chart

Hello Power BI Community,

 

Previously there was a section in formatting pane to change colors by measures through "Data colors".  However, I cannot find that anymore.  Where I can I find a section where I can change the color of stacked bar chart by measures? 

 

Thank you for your help.

Hi @DataNinja777 
If the question is about conditional formatting, then stacked graphs don't have this functionality.

There is an idea about this issue , you can vote for it here:

Thank you, this helped me find the colours pane - why on earth would they want to hide this functionality in this manner? Just hard to understand why MS wants to make Power Bi harder and harder to use.

 

Anyway, thx for help.

Thank you @Ritaf1983 .  My chart was stacked column chart, and I applied the same logic and did what you informed me in "Column" section and I could change the color manually. I will additionally vote for the conditional formatting, too!  Thanks!

As you already know , always happy to help 🙂
