Custom Color By Dynamic Dimension

Hello Team,

I have a below situation.

Dimension : Last 8 quarters

Measure : Total Sales

I would like to have custom colors(By expression) for my last 7 quarters.

The last 7 quarters will be dynamic as per Today's date.

For instance as of today's date , quarter will start from 1st January 2017.

So Q1-2017 will have a rgb(),

Q2-2017 will have different rgb value so on and so forth

Thanks & Regards,

Arvind

hi,

In the custom colour expression you will have to write the if Condition

=If(Quarter='Q1',rgb(),

If(Quarter='Q2',rgb())) an so on

Hi,

What is the field name of Dimension for Quarter and what are the values inside it ?

Does it calculated dimension ?

Regards,

Prashant

Hello Sunketa,

The Quarter is not fixed, last 8 quarters will continuously change with time hence we cannot put static values, hence this will not work.

Thanks

For sure it is possible to use Master Items with custom colors for last 8 Quarters.

May be you can add one more dimension or measure.

After that, try an expression like:

Count({$<Cust_Lost={"1"}>} distinct Customer)
