Stacked Bar Chart Legend with Custom Colors - Qlik Community

TKendrick20 · ‎2015-06-26

I have a stacked bar chart with custom colors. However, when I am using custom colors the option to also display a legend disappears. Is there any way to have a legend show up even though I am using custom colors?

I have the same problem. Did you found a solution yet?

As a workaround, perhaps create a text & image object containing the color legends, and put it next to the bar chart.

My problem is that I have a Drilldown, so my legend wil change.

Isn't this a bug in the Qlik Sense system?

Same problem... any solution for this?

As muliadyhartono‌ said. I just created an image and put it next to the chart. The chart is in a mashup, so it doesn't look too bad.

In the september release (or maybe June) they fixed a part of this.

In your measure items you can give your measures a color. That color will be used in the charts and legend.

So if you make a measure for always and give it a color, it should be in your legend.

Yeah, thanks, that's great!

But I need this functionality for dimensions, not measures...

In the november release it is possible (not sure about september).

Make a master dimension and go to value colors (1).

Click on the color right of the dimension value and change it to the desired color (2).

After that go the visualisation and (if not already on) select library colors.

Is this what you want?

Yeah, that's the way to do it! Thanks!

The only thing is that I can't find a way to highlight rows in s straight table by this dimension colors.The only way I see there is "Background color expression"/ Is there a way to "pull" the colors from master dim into expression?
