Dynamic Color Chart Caption

title ex.png

Hi all, I found this chart here - Line charts tricks: In-Chart Legend

I would like to know how to change the color of text in chart captions to match the lines... I was attempting to put my legend on my line charts like in the aforementioned post, but I could not get the function to work properly ( it was returning the max VALUE of my dimension, not replacing it with the text I wanted for a dynamic legend), so I've decided to maybe go this route, but can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this either..

In the original post, rebeccad seems to indicate that it's a text box, and in context, I suspect that the two countries being compared are hardcoded as two separate expressions.

Here's something similar using an additional chart to be the legend, and Name as a dimension. Colors for each name are defined in script and used in both charts to be sure they stay in sync.

Edit: Added colored name at end of each line.
