How to specify line color in line graph in Qlik Cloud

[cord_thomas]

I have a line graph with 9 measures as lines from 3 different categories.  I would like to easily distinguish lines by category using a combination of color and style.  First, can i really only have a solid or a dashed line?  There are no other styles?  And I cannot figure out how to specify the color.   ideally by measure name but would accept having to do this manually but there doesn't appear to be a way to specify a color for each measure.

1. Expression-based Coloring:

   • Under chart properties, navigate to "Colors and Legend" and disable "Use Library Colors."
   • Choose "Color by Expression."
   • Use a conditional expression (e.g., Pick(Category = 'A', $Green, Category = 'B', $Red, $Blue)) to assign specific colors based on category values.

2. Measure Color Settings:

   • Edit each measure individually.
   • Under "Appearance," locate the "Measure color" option.
   • Assign desired colors for each measure belonging to the same category. This ensures consistency within categories.
