    Hi BastiaanBrak ,

     

    We can't change it for now. The good news is it will be improved soon. Maybe we can have the feature to change it in April or May 2019.

hi Dale, v-jiascu-msft

 

Yes, that's what I meant. I added three shapes to the right of the stacked area chart that I gave exactly the same Fill colour, then played around with the transparency to see at what level it (approximately) matches that of the stacked area chart. It seems as if the 'default transparency' for the stacked area chart is set at 60% but without the possibility to change this. This is a problem for me as I want to match the colours to the colours in another visual, a map, where I can't set the transparency to 60%,

 

Hope that makes sense.

    Is it now fixed? (If so, how to I remove the default transparency?)

     

    It's a real pity as it's fixed for the legend, but not for the area charted, and means I can't use the visual at present.

     

    thanks

      Is this fixed? I didn't see the stacked area color can be changed. Please let me know if it is fixed.

    Hello,

     

    I couldn't find a solution to this problem still, so I was wondering, is this still something that is yet to be solved over three years later? I am also stuck at 60% transparency and I am confused as to why this is an option if it is impossible to change it. Perhaps I am missing a step, I would appreciate some assistance.

     

    Thanks,

    Vik
