Powerpoint Pie Chart Custom Colors

[qlik_Maestro]

Hello,

I am building a powerpoint report. I am attempting to create a powerpoint native pie chart with custom colors for each slice. 

From the NPrinting designer I save the powerpoint document after I set the colors I want. But when I go to preview the report, the pie chart is rendered with the default color scheme no matter what. 

I have tried to save the color scheme as a powerpoint template but it does not work either. 

I am using the latest NPrinting and QlikSense. 

Any ideas?

Hi @qlik_Maestro 

we dont see how you set your colours and you dont explain to us how you do it so we cannot say what you do wrong. I will just say: works for me - so it can be done 🙂

as always we have to think about how powerpoint works (not how Nprinting works!), so when thinking about that you should realize that chart colours are based on color themes. 

once I set my colours to what i want it in the right place they work as designed. You just have to make sure you have chosen "Custom" pallet for colours. One thing is that you cannot really assign colour to value. You can only assign colours order in which they will appear.

cheers
