Set analysis "ignored" when applying background color to dimension

Hi In sense v3.2 SR1 3.1 SR2(server) I'm having an issue in a table.

When I add a measure with a set analysis the table is reduced to only the data for that set.

After I add a background color, or text this set-analysis all data is shown, disregarding the set analysis.

Is this a known "feature", or is this a bug and is it solved in a later version? At the client I'm with there is not a way to quickly update to a new version and see what changes.

Anyone know how to work around this?

Is your background color based on a measure, e.g. using a condition?

Then add set analysis to this measure , too. Use Only() function, if needed, to be able to use a set expression.

Would you be able to share a sample to show this issue?

Hi Thanks for this suggestion. I had seen that before, but didn't try. This still didn't work. In the end I created the calculations in the script so that I had the RGB color for each record.

I then used a Max({<Status = {'status'}>}[color field]). This did the trick.

So lesson learned is also apply set analysis to the background color expression.

edit: missed the set analysis part in your message. With set analysis it also works with only. Thanks for the help!
