Data color
I'm having problems with the data colors of my pie charts. When I return to my report the next day the colors have all altered. Now there is some that are the same colour for different segments as well as the legend generally not matching across each pie chart. Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?
Thanks
Phil
hi morrisphil84
To my knowledge, it is that you have set sort visual by Value(the fields you drag into Values)
Then after the dataset is refreshed and data is updated.
After data is updated
Then legend color is changed.
So for your case, you just need to sort the visual by Legend field(In my case, it is [Type])
By the way, You might need Sort by column later on.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I have tried with both chrom and edge and both encounter the same issue.
As I'm new to this I have used the online service before trying the desktop (but I can only open the dataset there not my created reports).
The first image below is showing the correct legend, whilst the second image has swapped the colours round for agree and strongly disagree.
Thanks for your support
