Epic idea: Conditioanl formatting parameters displayed in legends and tooltips

[Miguel_Myers]

Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions.

Achieving some color consistency in PowerBI is a major pain and it seriously impacts experience and productivity. Two major improvements could be implemented -Measure default color - ability to assign a default color to any measure, to be used in relevant charts (line, bar, areas...) . -Color assignations to field values - Ability to assign colors to field values, so that the color for dimensions stays consistent across charts. It could be similar to the "Data colors" feature, but not linked to a specific visualization.

Lock colours on certain data catagories in order to prevent colour clashes upon refresh. For example when producing a dashboard that contains an overview of competitors across the region; there are some major competitors which one would compete against in a number of markets; it would be useful to assign these competitors a colour. However, when the data looks at different markets, suddenly you get colour clashes which makes it more difficult to interpret data. This makes it harder to drive consistent visuals.

There is dire need to have this functionality implemented for the line charts to retain the data colors(user specific hexacode in automated fashion) for the same data points across the different line charts. We need the functionality to change the colors using measure. https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/13757925-dynamically-specify-data-colour-using-column-e-g

Allow a standard color to be assigned to a column (e.g. dept), so that column always has the same color in all visuals.

I want to create a theme where the colors for a barchart (and others) are configured by name of the measure. for example: invoice $ measure should be in green, invoice target in yellow, claims in red etc... so when I apply my theme, everywhere where my invoice $ measure is used and a color can be set, I should have it in green.

This is the kind of the thing that leaves you wondering, in 2022... how this is isn't already a basic-included feature?

The lack of this feature seems to be a recurring habit of Microsoft in the Power Platform, I remember working with Power Apps at one point and that suffered the exact same problem.

Can we get some QoL features please Microsoft?

I have just discovered that I cannot format the text in the legend . Also if I can format the text to be the colour I want, I don't necessarily need the marker (less is more).

Cheers,

Just ran into this with a donut chart. Would like to conditionally format across multiple report pages using a measure (or column) to ensure that a given attribute is given a consistent color.

i.e. Table of Data with Type of data A, B, C. I'd like to easily be able to always have the same colors assigned to these types instead of having to manually select the colors on each visual.

YES PLEASE! Having moved from Tableau to Power BI this is the most annoying missing feature, especially when dealing with a rebranding and therefore new colors! Yes, I can change the theme, and when I have used theme colors before, they will get changed with the color of the same position in the new theme, but this still leave the issue for "non theme" colors and when creating new visuals with the same measure/dimension.
