    Anonymous, Anonymous,

     

    I used a work around by adding multiple values and then changing the default colour to the colour i wanted and then removing the multiple values. It works.

     

    Thanks for all your inputs.

I just tried republishing the original report that I created this thread for, and the colours are working fine. cv_01 , Anonymous , have you tried 'modifying' the colours by opening the Custom Color box, and just deleting & retyping the last character of the hexadecimal colour code? It updates something inside of Power BI, and is what fixed the issue for me originally.

Hi Anonymous thanks for your reply. I tried that and also changing completely the colour on the desktop version and also online but not luck with it. 😞

    AnonymousI tried republishing my report yet again but didn't expeience the issue. This seems to be a report-level issue; but still, I'm not sure what the resolution is.

      I was able to address this issue by recreating the charts in my report. This is one of my older reports, maybe active since 2018. Trying a few different things I have noticed that if I switched the charts, I could keep the colors. Ultimately I had to delete the line chart and redo it. My guess is that something in the line chart didn't compute with whatever new released and caused the confusion. Also my other newer reports with line charts didn't have this issue. Deleting and redoing the chart, at least for me, solved the issue.

    Yes, it is really frustrating now for the customers as well, as it represents their brand, and this bug is creating a lot of problem internally in the organization, workaround works for some but not for all, we need a solution to it which I think Microsoft has been ignoring since 2017. This issue is consistent from past so many years and no solution to a bug with workarounds involving lot of extra time and efforts.

    Please tell us what to do avoid such a things going forward.

      Hello All,

       

      I raised the ticket with Microsoft the very same day and they were really very helpful to fix the issue quickly.
      Thanks to Venkata from Microsoft support team to help on this.

      Regarding the problem description there was Regression Issue which has been fixed by the new code in the backend. It's a bug from the Line visual which has been fixed by the product group in the new code.

       

      Let me know if it is working for everyone now.
