Different color in legend than in graph

[#1]

Hi all,

i am new to QV and i need your help again:

I want to distinguish the weekend days "saturday" and "sunday".

In the formula for the summary -> backround color i put in this definition: if (fieldweekday ='sunday', LightRed())

It works fine for the graph but not for the legend!

Every line color is red and it seems the color of the weekendday is applied.

Here is the example (see right side):

Any Idea?

thanks and best regards,

Sabrina

To do this i usually create an additional expression the same as your dimension fieldweekday and for it :

• Untick <Line>
• Tick <Text on Axis]
• Set its background colour expression as needed.

And for the dimension leave as is, except unticking <Label>

Hi,

if you want to really have control over the colors of your chart and legend, you will have to deactivate the automatic legend (checkbox) and put in some free_text_boxes instead (on the "presentation" tab). That is kind of fickle and time-consuming because you have to position every such box - one coloured without text and one with text beside that - manually. Put the zoom to 200 or 400 % to get that right.

Do you have any screenshots ory example?

fieldweekday is a field of a table. The dimensions are DDMM and PlattformLastYear and the expression (formula) is [article online].
