Fixed colors on bars in a chart

Fri, 01 Oct 2010 13:42:09 GMT

Hi!

I have a bar chart in which I want to control the colors on the bars based on the dimensional value.

I have a condition on the background of the expression, it works fine.

But I have an issue. The dimension is a cyclic group and I only want the specific colors on some of the levels.

Example. my cyclic group is a hieracy. Industry-> Customer

I want Industry A to be red and Industry B to be green. But when I switch to customer in the cyclic group I want to use the colors from the colors tab in properties since I don't want all Industry A customers to have the same color. I want all customers to have different colors and not the color of the Industry it belongs to.

Hi Zandra,

try using the function getcurrentfield(myGroup), it should be something like this:

if(getcurrentfield(<the name of your group here>)='Industry', if(Industry=A,green(),red()))

hope this helps

Regards!!
