Design Import not working corretcly
Hey all,
I have a problem regarding the Design/Theme import function for Power BI. I am currently working on a corporate theme for our company for which I am using a simple test file and the new possibility to edit default themes. Because I am using quite a few themes currently to test it, I have found that Power BI doesn't load the themes correctly.
As you can see, the first 8 columns show the right colors, the next columns afterwards seem to show whatever the default theme behind the customized theme was. I can change this, when I edit the theme again.
Is there any possiblity to either have the design imported properly, so that I don't have to adjust ist afterwards or is there a way, similar to the default where the design is using more than 8 colors for such a kind of visual?
Thank you in advance,
Tobias D.
- I think if you edit the theme in Power BI Desktop you can only set 8 colors. But if you export it to a JSON-file then you can set as many colors as you want.
Have a look over here to see how editing the JSON-file works: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-report-themes#introduction-to-report-theme-json-files

This did help at least, now I only have to find out how many data colors the default themes are using.
Thank you.
