Theme Help

I changed the theme colour in my report and when I reset it, all but one of the visuals in my report change. How can I get the visual which isn't updating to update to the correct colour theme? Regardless of which theme I choose, the colour remains.

Hi @Westgate83 ,

It sounds like you have a visual that is not updating its color when you change the theme of your report. This could be caused by several reasons, such as:

  • The visual has a custom color that overrides the theme color.
  • The visual has a conditional formatting that changes the color based on some criteria.
  • The visual is using a different theme than the rest of the report.


To fix this problem, you can try some of these solutions:

  • Revert to the default color: In Power BI Desktop, go to the Data Colors properties for the relevant visual and click on Revert to Default. This will remove any custom or conditional colors and apply the theme color.
  • Check the conditional formatting: In Power BI Desktop, go to the Format pane for the relevant visual and look for any options that have an fx icon next to them. This means that they have a conditional formatting applied. You can click on the fx icon and edit or remove the conditional formatting rules.
  • Use the same theme for all visuals: In Power BI Desktop, go to View > Themes and select the theme that you want to use for your report. This will apply the same theme to all visuals in your report. You can also create and import your own custom themes.

Were the colors of that viusl manually updated prior to adding your theme? Try going to that viz and going into the formatting and selecting reset to default on the colors for it.
