Expression for colour by measure

Hi Guys,

I have 3 different measures representing my data and I am looking am looking for an expression to add different colors to my bar chart through an expression. Any help would be appreciated.

I have sales data from 2015-2018 and wanted to add growth rates over the years as a KPI. How can this be achieved through an expression? Please advice.

Regards,

Rony

Go to the expression tab, click on the desired measure. There will be a '+' icon. Click Background Color and and give a desired RGB() Function.

You can also give basic colors as Function like Red() ,Green(), Black().

or if you are looking to change the color based on value like red for low, yellow for normal and green for high. you can give if conditions in the same Background color expression box

Hi,

to give the colour by measure you will have to add the expression in the master item.

Max,

I have started a new discussion with the same subject line and have added a sample qvf there. I am not getting the advanced editor option while replying to you here.

Thanks,

Rony
